Table 3. Observed frequencies (and percentages) for each of the three locations where the dubia roaches were found as a function of sex, group size and the location of the conspecific cue filter paper (cue) in Experiment 2.
For simplicity, interactions between the predictors are not included. The percentage of individuals found at the three possible locations was similar for each level of sex and group size. However, the percentages changed drastically when the cue location changed from the darker shelter to the lighter shelter (see the Results section).
| Location where individuals were found | Sex | Group size | Cue location | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Females | Males | 1 | 3 | Darker shelter | Lighter shelter | |
| Darker shelter | 188 (73.44%) | 180 (70.31%) | 93 (72.66%) | 275 (71.61%) | 241 (94.14%) | 127 (49.61%) |
| Lighter shelter | 35 (13.67%) | 51 (19.92%) | 19 (14.84%) | 67 (17.45%) | 5 (1.95%) | 81 (31.64%) |
| Out | 33 (12.89%) | 25 (9.77%) | 16 (12.50%) | 42 (10.94%) | 10 (3.91%) | 48 (18.75%) |
