Table 5. Different dominance measures.
Summary of values of the directionality (directional consistency index, DCI), linearity h′ and its significance level, number and strength of inconsistencies (No. I and SI, respectively) for the I&SI rank orders, and triangle transitivity (proportion of transitive triangles relative to all trangles Pt, triangle transitivity metric ttri, and significance level) for all behavioural categories for females and males separately.
| Directionality | Linearity | Inconsistency: no. I (and SI) | Triangle transitivity | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Agonistic behaviours displayed between females | ||||
| Female aggressive behaviour | DCI = 0.92 | Yes (h′= 0.78, p = 0.004) | 0 | Pt= 1.000, ttri= 1.000, p = 0.008 |
| Female dominance behaviour | DCI = 0.98 | Yes (h′= 0.74, p = 0.007) | 1 (2) | Pt= 0.973, ttri= 0.892, p = 0.004 |
| Female submissive behaviour | DCI = 0.98 | Yes (h′= 0.59, p = 0.048) | 0 | Pt= 1.000, ttri= 1.000, p = 0.008 |
| Agonistic behaviours displayed between males | ||||
| Male aggressive behaviour | DCI = 0.90 | Yes (h′= 0.61, p = 0.015) | 1 (4) | Pt= 0.972, ttri= 0.889, p = 0.002 |
| Male dominance behaviour | DCI = 0.96 | Yes (h′= 0.78, p = 0.0009) | 0 | Pt= 1.000, ttri= 1.000, p = 0.001 |
| Male submissive behaviour | DCI = 0.97 | Yes (h′= 0.81, p = 0.0002) | 0 | Pt = 1.000, ttri= 1.000, p = 0.001 |
