Table 1.
Ethogram and activity budget by housing condition and time of day.
Values rounded to three decimal places, anything below three decimal places are rounded to 0.000. Unobserved behaviors are noted as such. Mean difference was calculated by subtracting Complex housing value from Standard housing value.

A&B: estimated marginal mean (EMM) of home range size (A) and core area size (B) by housing condition with 95% confidence intervals. C&D: individual home range size (A) and core area size (B) by housing condition. Paired samples for each tarantula are connected by line and labeled by unique color.
Fig 3.
EMM ratios of individual home range and core area sizes by treatment and sex, bounded by 95% confidence intervals (CI).
X axis value reflects relationship of numerator to denominator on Y axis label. Dashed grey line represents ratio of 1, or no difference.
Fig 4.
Proportion of observations by usage type (i.e. In Hide, On Furniture, Open Space) per individual by zone displayed via dot plot for all observations (n = 294).
Larger circles outlined in black represent the mean proportion of observations, bounded by lines representing standard deviation.
Fig 5.
A&C: estimated marginal mean (EMM) of proportion of scans on wall per observation by housing condition bounded by 95% confidence intervals (CI) at night (A) and during the day (C). B&D: proportion of scans on wall per observation by housing condition at night (B) and during the day (D) displayed via dot plot and distribution curve for all observations (nnight = 739, nday = 486).
Fig 6.
Odds ratios of scans on wall per observation for treatment and sex at night and during the day, bounded by 95% confidence intervals (CI).
X axis value reflects relationship of numerator to denominator on Y axis label. Dashed grey line represents ratio of 1, or no difference.
Fig 7.
Proportion of scans active during novelty tests by housing condition.
Paired samples for each tarantula are connected by line and labeled by unique color. Black circles connected by dashed line represent modelled EMM values, bound by 95% confidence intervals.
