*, **, *** significant at P ≤ 0.05, 0.01, 0.001, respectively; 1the estimate for sex refers to females minus males; 2social sex ratio represents the proportion of male group mates of an individual, fitted as a covariable, thus the estimate is the regression coefficient of bite marks on proportion of male group mates in the cage; 3the two group size estimates refer to the difference between group size three minus group size two and group size four minus group size two, respectively.
