We show the case with p = 2, i.e. 3 hierarchical levels (without counting the individual level). We start from N = 18 individuals. The base groups are of size 3 (N0 = q0 = 3), i.e. three individuals together form one group. The next groups (the first super-groups) are of size 2 (q1 = 2, N1 = q1 ⋅ q0 = 6), i.e. two base-groups together form one higher order group. The second super-group (and also the top level) is again of size 3 (q2 = 3, N2 = q0 ⋅ q1 ⋅ q2 = N = 18).
