Banded Mongoose Social Network Edge Lists and Nodes - Simulated Intergroup Conflict

Social interaction edge lists and nodes for banded mongoose groups (1B, 1H, 2, 11 and 26). Two types of interaction were recorded - grooming (grooming and nubbing affiliative behaviours), and aggression (all types of aggression - over food, mates or dominance). Observations took place before or after a simulated intergroup conflict (R1-6) or control (C1-7) presentation. The conflict included presentation of faeces and scent marks from a rival group, playback of war cries and presentation of four adult male rival individuals. The control included presentation of faeces and scent marks from their own pack, playback of neutral communication calls from their own pack, and presentation of four of their own males. Nodes contain individual identity and traits including sex and age.
