Fixed effects, random effects and outcome variable used in our models
Fixed effects | |
Age | Age (years) of the individual at the time of a given experimental condition |
Sex | Sex of the individual |
Rearing | Whether individual was captive-born and mother-reared, captive-born and nursery-reared, or wild born |
Experience | The number of experimental conditions which the individual had participated in prior to the study in question |
Random effects | |
Individual identity | Identity code corresponding to each unique individual in the sample, to control for multiple observations and calculate repeatability |
Pedigree | An individual’s parentage, if known. Used to estimate heritability of SIS |
Condition | The experimental condition (N = 26) the data point was taken from |
Outcome | |
SIS | A binary measure of social learning for a given experimental condition |
