Factors explaining variation in behavioural responses of male fowl in the second trial (i.e. after social status was manipulated) of a novel arena test. Values presented are posterior means of model parameters from the MCMCglmm analyses, with effects of status given as dominant-subordinate differences (i.e. positive values indicates that dominant males had a higher value). See main text for variable transformations used. (The asterisk symbols indicate statistical significance: *P_MCMC < 0.05, **P_MCMC < 0.01, ***P_MCMC < 0.001.)
