*

Adult individuals leaving the subgroup within at most 1 min were counted as having left during the same fission event.

Number of times each adult individual left the subgroup.

Subgroup size at the start of each event.

§

The proportion of adult individuals that left the subgroup at least once to the total adult individuals present in the subgroup.
