Loadings of the social measurements onto the first principle component, both total population and split by sex.

PC1: All PC1: Female PC1: Male
Alone −0.47 −0.48 −0.25
Large 0.53 0.51 0.55
Associates 0.50 0.50 0.59
Same-sex associates 0.50 0.50 0.53
Total % of variation 75.98 86.10 61.18

All measures were present on PC1, but time alone loaded heavily onto PC2 as well (all = 0.68, females = 0.77, males = 0.80). For all individuals, PC2 explained 16.58% of variation, for females 7.36%, but for males 30.42%.

N = 218 dolphins, 112 female, 106 male.
