Relationship between age and body condition for residents and dispersers in northern Kruger (logistic regression). Red circles: candidate residents, pink diamonds: candidate dispersers. Size of data points is proportional to the number of sampled individuals (candidate residents: 1–8 individuals, candidate dispersers: 1–2 individuals). Regression lines: probability of having a high body condition. Upper and lower lines: upper and lower limit of the 95% confidence interval of the regression lines. Dotted lines: candidate dispersers, solid lines: candidate residents. Dependent variable: body condition (BCS): 0: BCS ≤ 4 (only two out of 44 individuals with BCS < 4), 1: BCS = 5. χ2-value model = 10.71, d.f. = 2, Pmodel = 0.0047, Page = 0.018, Pdisperser status = 0.018. Sex was not significant when added to the regression model (Psex = 0.34). Candidate resident with body condition = 0: nindividuals = 5, candidate resident with body condition = 1: nindividuals = 28, candidate disperser with body condition = 0: nindividuals = 5, candidate disperser with body condition = 1: nindividuals = 6
