Males performance after day 65 in an exploration task. Males of early low quality (LQ; indicated by black bars; N=31) and early high quality (HQ; indicated by white bars; N=29) treatment did neither differ in a) the number of visited places nor b) in their activity in the test (panels a) and b) indicate the median, quartiles and outliers, i.e., data points that lie outside the 10th and 90th percentiles). However, compensatory cheek patch growth (from day 50-65) was negatively linked with the c) number of visited places and the d) total activity in the exploration test. See text for details.
