  1. GLMM = generalized linear mixed model, PCAF = post-conflict affiliation between former opponents, PCAWB by bystanders = post-conflict affiliation initiated by bystanders to winners, PCALB by losers = post-conflict affiliation initiated by losers to bystanders, PCALB by bystanders = post–conflict affiliation initiated by bystanders to losers, unaffiliated PC = PC in which any post-conflict affiliation did not occur, new aggression = aggression between previous former opponents and an uninvolved individual.
