Two’s company, three’s a crowd: Social situations alter group dynamics in the maritime earwig (Anisolabis maritima)
Fig 2
Likelihood of copulatory activity as a function of female-to-smaller male strikes and male size discrepancy (larger male to smaller male relative size) in 2M1F Trios of A. maritima.
This figure visualizes the significant interaction shown in Table 5B, where each point represents the outcome of a single 2M1F Trio trial. Predicted probabilities (solid lines) are shows with 95% confidence intervals (shaded areas). “Average” (orange) corresponds to mean male size discrepancy while “Small” (green) and “large” (purple) correspond to a size discrepancy 2 standard deviations above and below the mean respectively. As male size discrepancy increases, the effect of female-to-smaller male strikes weakens and eventually reverses.
