Percentages of individuals exhibiting various aggressiveness scores in five trials. (2a) While we took all 103 individuals together, initially over 50% of individuals exhibited highly aggressive 4-point behavior. However, by the fifth behavioral trial, only about 25% showed this behavior. An opposite pattern was observed in 0-point and 1-point aggressive behaviors, indicating that most spiders progressively reduced their aggressiveness as the trials continued, while a small proportion maintained extremely high or low aggressiveness. (2b) The middle group showed a pattern similar to the mixed group, with a clear decline in aggressive behavior as the trials progressed, demonstrating low repeatability in their predatory aggressive behaviors. (2c) In the HA (High Aggressiveness) group, no 0-point incidents were observed, and most individuals showed highly repeatable predatory aggressive behaviors. (2 d) In contrast, most individuals in the LA (Low Aggressiveness) group consistently displayed low levels of predatory aggressive behavior, with only one instance of 4-point behavior observed in trial1.
