DATASET Sound production mechanism in triggerfish (Balistidae): a synapomorphy

Dataset corresponding to the article "Sound production mechanism in triggerfish (Balistidae): a synapomorphy".  This dataset contains the sounds of three species of Balistidae : Balistapus undulatus, Rhinecanthus aculeatus and Rhinecanthus rectangulus. All the specimens are from Moorea Island (French Polynesia) B. undulatus [standard length (SL) 10.59–15.35 cm] R. aculeatus (SL: 12.7–17.4 cm)  R. rectangulus (SL: 8.1–15.3 cm)  Specimens were recorded hand-held in a glass aquarium with a hydrophone HTI-96-MIN (sensitivity: −163.9dB V μPa−1; High Tech Inc., Long Beach, MS, USA) connected to a TASCAM DR-07 recorder (TEAC, Wiesbaden, Germany). The sounds were digitized at 44.1 kHz (16-bit resolution).
