Table 2.

Results of GLMMs investigating relationships between chemical diversity and rank, age and MHC diversity in male and female mandrills. (H, Shannon index. d.f.: male swabs 1,50; male hairs 1,54; female swabs 1,25; females hairs 1,27. We examined the influence of age and rank separately in males, because these two variables were collinear.)
