Offspring activity at 7 and 10 days post fertilization in response to male social status. a After Round 1, offspring of dominant males (Dom) were more active overall, whereas offspring from subordinate males (Sub) showed a drop in activity from day 7 to day 10. b After Round 2, activity patterns in offspring were similar across the four groups except for offspring sired by males which were dominant in both rounds. In this group, offspring activity dropped significantly from day 7 to day 10. Dominance status shown in black indicates the status held in the current trial, whereas dominance status shown in grey indicates the status held in the previous or later trial
