- Accurate prediction rate (with bootstrapped 95% CI in square brackets) of the most preferred male (male 1), linear order of the three males (male 1 > male 2 > male 3), and choice between two males in pairwise comparison as a function of the assumed preference rules: directional preference for the largest male, homotypic preference for a male of similar size to the female, or self-referent directional preference for males 30% larger than the female (Male/Female size ratio λ = 1.3).
