Table 2.

Models of fixed effects on A) the probability of being consorted by the highest-ranking male in the group (N = 34 conceptive cycles) and B) the proportion of time that a consortship was trailed by a follower male (N = 32 conceptive cycles). Shaded rows in both candidate sets indicate those models that should be considered equivalent to best model (i.e. Δ_i <2). Because only the top 10 models for each candidate set are shown, the Akaike weights that are shown (w_i) do not sum to 1.
