Figure 3.

Longitudinal representation of fecal cortisol metabolite (FCM (ng/g)) levels before and after the death of the dominant male (M1) in: (F1) Female 1; (F2) Female 2; (F3) Female 3; (M1) Male 1; (M2) Male 2. The vertical dashed line symbolizes a jump in time from the sampling finalization before the death of M1 and sampling resumed afterward. The discontinuity of the line observed between several samples reflects those days where no wax color could be detected in the samples collected; thus, such fecal samples could not be identified or ascribed to an individual.
