In this study, we examined the influence of single and multiple experiences on contest outcomes in the jumping spider Phidippus clarus.
Overall, our results show that experience can be an important determinant in contest outcomes, even in short-lived invertebrates, and that experience alone is unlikely to alter phenotype fitness associations.
However, human studies of the effect of dominance contest outcomes on cortisol changes have had inconsistent results.
The decision to provide candidates this year was also on the basis of Dagstuhl discussions, to eliminate the data source as an influence on the contest outcomes and thus focus more on the role of the in silico fragmentation approaches themselves.
As this entry was "guesswork" and did not affect the contest outcomes, upon request Team Dührkop resubmitted a true "leave out" entry post-contest where all CASMI challenge compounds were removed from their training set (not just their "guess" based on top scoring candidates) prior to retraining and calculating the CSI FID_leaveout results.
Difference in PC2 was not related to contest outcomes (more asymmetric male won: 37/86 = 43%, binomial p = 0.235).
As before, differences in PC2 were not related to contest outcomes (more asymmetric male won: 20/48 = 42%, binomial p = 0.312).
Thus, the only factors that are likely to influence contest outcomes are those that influence fighting ability itself.
