Typing error

There is a typing error in the result section, "initiatorship", the same applies for the legend of figure 3. Instead of "P > 0.05", it should say "P < 0.05".
The correct version is: "The percentage of successful initiation movements of all initiation attempts by the individual initiators was dependent on the social centrality of group members: individuals with a higher CIS had a higher percentage of successful initiation movements than those with a lower CIS (Spearman rank correlation: ρ = 0.48, N = 21, P < 0.05, Fig. 3)."
I apologize for any confusion!
Regards,
Anne Seltmann
