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.
