Abstract
⺠We analysed calls of blue-footed boobies and did a playback experiment. ⺠An individual signature was present and acoustic variables differed between sexes. ⺠Individual identity was encoded by temporal (male) and spectral (female) parameters. ⺠Male and female signals were equally effective for mate recognition. ⺠The decoding process may differ between the sexes.
