Differences between similar and distant-ranked dyads.

This table summarizes the differences between similar (S) and distant-ranked dyads (D) documented in the literature, and compares the findings to the patterns emerging in our model at different settings for LPS (N = 10 simulation runs), using significance levels of 0.05 (*), 0.01 (**) and 0.001 (***). The differences between similar and distant-ranked dyads in our model were tested with a paired t-test. The model findings in bold type are contrast to empirical findings.
