Extended Data Table 2. Results of the posthoc paired t-tests investigating temporal changes in weight following dominance acquisition.

Pairwise comparison tests were conducted after the repeated measures ANOVA to compare within-individual changes in weight between the month preceding dominance acquisition (labelled ‘0’) and the four months (labelled ‘1’ to ‘4’) following dominance acquisition, as well as between each of the four months post-dominance acquisition. A Bonferroni correction was applied to correct for multiple testing.
