Mortality rate of adult (>1 y) males and females resulting from intergroup aggression. Box, median and interquartile range; whisker, 90th percentile; points, outliers. *P = 0.018. N = 478 males, 335 females followed for 1,899 mongoose-years. (C) LRS and intergroup conflict. LEGO (Top) and LRS (Bottom) of males (blue) and females (orange) are plotted against the number of IGIs in which individuals were involved across their lifespan. Data are for 499 males and 367 female adults monitored from birth to death over 20 y.
