Fig. 6. Mean electric organ discharge (EOD) duration (A) and amplitude ratio (B)
(error bars ± 1 S.E.M.; N=5 per group) as a
function of pseudo-dominance status under conditions of restricted interaction
(female G. petersii dyads). Pseudo-dominant females showed increases
in EOD duration relative to their neighbors. Pseudo-subordinates showed no
increase in amplitude ratio during the interaction period, although amplitude
ratio did remain higher than or comparable with that of the pseudo-dominant
group throughout the interaction. The horizontal bar spanning days 48
represents the duration of interaction.
