  1. Generalized linear model evaluating the influence of familiarity (F: familiar; UF: unfamiliar) and experience (SW-DN, SN-DL and SN-DN) treatments as well as the interaction between them on whether or not the subordinate won Contest 2. The pair’s body size and lineage were included in the model to account for their influences. Contrast analyses were used to evaluate the differences between the effects of different levels of a treatment. (χ2: Ward χ2; *: P < 0.05).
