It is proposed that males perform food-calling when they want to attract, or want contact with, a female. This predicts that males are likely to perform food-calling in the absence of a female at places where they have previously experienced the presence of a female, thereby enhancing the possibility of a new encounter. Indeed, in experiment 1 food-calling in the absence of a female increased after training in the presence of one, and decreased again after training in her absence. In experiment 2, males that had already received extensive training with a female performed more food-calling in the absence of a female than in her presence. Food-calling in the former situation decreased after training in the absence of a female. These findings are consistent with the prediction and show that food-calling is sensitive
