Fig. 7: Synchronization in the locomotor activity between females within social groups, 48 h after being placed in the novel social environment.

a Mean ± SEM of the pairwise comparisons of the real wavelet coefficients between the dominant and subordinate female (violet, n = 4 groups) or between two neutral females (dark gray, n = 5 groups) within the social group at each time scale was performed using the Spearman correlation coefficient. Supplementary Fig. 3 show the original four pairwise comparisons between dominant/subordinate females and the five pairwise comparisons between neutral females used for estimation of the mean values (see also Supplementary Figs. 4 and 5 for raw analysis, respectively). To reduce noise, Wavelet analysis was performed on actograms with 15 s bins. The same analysis performed in males is shown in Supplementary Fig. 6. b Relative dispersal (standard deviation/mean) of the curves shown in a. Dotted line represents a time scale in which the relative dispersal is about 50 times higher between neutral birds than between the dominant/subordinate females.
