  1. Cortisol measurements (baseline and responsiveness) are adjusted for rank index, body weight, measurement (first or second), and housing group. Rank index and change in body weight are adjusted for the fixed effects listed in Table 2. Bold indicates significant values (p < 0.05). N = 24 observations, 12 individuals for all models
