Description of the simulations chosen.

Abbreviated simulations Behaviours simulated Scoring scales allowed Simulations represent
Simulation P Peaceful behaviours only −4, −3, −2, −1 Encounters within the nest
Simulation P + I Peaceful behaviours with ignoring −4, −3, −2, −1, 0 Encounters within the nest
Simulation P + I + A Peaceful and aggressive behaviours with ignoring −4, −3, −2, −1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 Encounters between nests
Simulation P + I + A + K Peaceful and aggressive behaviours with ignoring and with killing −4, −3, −2, −1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Encounters between nests
Simulation I + A Aggressive behaviours with ignoring 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 Encounters between nests
Simulation I + A + K Aggressive behaviours with ignoring and with killing 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Encounters between nests
Simulation A Aggressive behaviours only 1, 2, 3, 4 Encounters between nests
Simulation A + K Aggressive behaviours with killing 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Encounters between nests

Note: P represents peaceful behaviours, I represents ignoring, A represents aggressive behaviours, and K represents killing. Detailed information on the scoring scales used can be found in Table 5.
