Statement

Intergroup threat was experimentally simulated by presenting a series of stimuli from a rival group to a focal group during field experiments conducted between March 2016 and May 2017. The stimuli included a presentation of rival group faeces, a playback of rival group ‘war cries’, and a presentation of rival males in traps. In addition, presentations of own group stimuli were performed as control trials. In total we performed 22 simulated intrusion trials and 22 control trials in 5 social groups. For each simulated intrusion and control trial, we collected observations of social interactions in the focal group over a 5-day period: 2 days before the presentation of stimuli, on the day of the presentation of stimuli, and 2 days after the presentation of stimuli. On each day we observed the focal group for 1 hour in the morning and for 1 hour in the afternoon. We recorded every grooming and aggressive interaction between individuals, noting the identity of the individuals involved and the direction of the interaction. We also recorded the sex and age of the individuals.
