At subjective dawn on day 5 of the males' adult life, both males were transferred into the arena and at the end of 24 hours, all dyads in both blocks were observed for an hour, and all were found to have an unambiguous winner – a single male occupied the food area, and chased off the other male if intrusion occurred.
Finally, blocks were observed for as long as 24 hours in cells before dividing, and appeared to resolve right before entering mitosis, confirming that they are not transient features of a particular cell cycle stage (Additional file 3).
For the s-block metal ions, associations were observed for ion size [AN, AR, r], oxidation energy (AN/ΔIP), and ability to form covalent bonds (Xm, Xmr).
For the s-block metal ions, associations were observed for ion mass (AN), solubility (MP), softness (σp), ability to form covalent bonds (Xmr), and ability to form ionic bonds (Z).
As similar results were observed for block sizes 2 and 4, summary statistics based on block size 4 were plotted in Figure 2, 3, 4 and 5. Results suggested that unequal centre size had little impact on model performance, yet it was associated with slight enlargement of the empirical variance of β ^ 1 in Model E - 1.
When a block was observed, the potential was maintained for at least 60 s following the block.
