Negative kin discrimination and sex-specific aggression in banded mongooses. (A) The effect of mean pairwise relatedness to dominants (males and females older than 3 y) on the probability of a female being targeted for eviction (n = 207 females in 29 eviction attempts in five groups). The line shows the prediction from the GLMM (±SE). (A, Inset) Eviction attempts are highly aggressive and involve biting, chasing, and wrestling (photo courtesy of Dave Seager) (Movie S1). (B) The number of female (gray bars) and male (white bars) primary aggressors in female-only and mixed-sex eviction attempts (n = 26 eviction attempts in six groups). The bars show the predictions from the GLMM (±SE).
