Figures & data

Figure 1.  Comparisons of (a) the rate of threats, (b) the rate of lunges and (c) the percentage of time in which physical aggression (including chases) was directed at others in the 20 min following control and experimental stimuli. One asterisk indicates significance at p < 0.05 and two asterisks indicate p < 0.01. The values shown are the interquartile range, the midline is the median and the whiskers show 10–90 percentiles.

Figure 3.  Relationship between females' median fGCM levels and the responsiveness indices of lunges directed at bystanders, i.e. mean expression in the 20 min after experimental playbacks minus mean expression in the 20 min after controls.
