Figure 2.

A forest plot showing meta-analysis results of the SAOMs’ parameters. Social interactions between spiders exhibiting different boldness tend to increase the boldness of the shyer spider (avAlt effect). There is a general decrease in boldness over time (linear) but boldness increases are self-reinforcing (quad). There is no effect of boldness on the likelihood of forming (or avoiding) social ties (egoPlusAltX). Positive Jout and from.w.ind indicate a tendency for spiders to form ties with nest-mates that interact with their neighbours: the positive from.w.ind effect suggests that individuals with high-degree centrality drive this trend. Negative degPlus implies a cap on the dispersion of spider degrees, likely because of physical restrictions on the maximum number of individuals a spider can touch.
