Table 1. Specific predictions for social state probabilities (see main text) comparing surface and cave-dwelling mollies (Poecilia mexicana).
| Model probabilities | Comparative prediction |
|---|---|
| probability of ending social contact | Surface < Cave |
| probability to join a new social partner once they are alone | Surface > Cave |
| probability of leaving a current nearest neighbour | Surface < Cave |
| probability of switching social partners | Surface < Cave |
