Figure 1
Bootstrapped entropy ratio of facial behavior across social contexts for three species of macaques.
The entropy ratio was calculated on 100 bootstrapped samples of the data by dividing the observed entropy by the expected entropy if Action Units were used randomly for each social context. The …
Figure 2
Bipartite network of single Action Units (orange) and social context (blue) for three species of macaques.
Edges are shown for Action Units that occurred in at least 1% of observations per context. Edge thickness and transparency are weighted by specificity, which ranges from 0 (indicating an Action Unit …
Figure 3
Specificity of Action Unit combinations that were used in at least 1% of observations per species per social context.
Specificity ranges from 0 (indicating an Action Unit is never observed in a context) to 1 (indicating an Action Unit is only observed in one context). (A) Distribution of Action Unit combination …
Figure 4
Calculating context specificity on an imbalanced dataset.
Specificity was calculated on a simulated dataset with an imbalanced number of observations per context. The calculated specificity values deviated from the true specificity such that they were …

Table 2
Total number of social interactions per species and social context that were MaqFACS coded.
Note that combination of Action Units were grouped by time blocks of 500 ms. Therefore, the number of observations in the data is twice the duration of the social interaction in seconds.
