Box Plot from Scientific Research

Pairwise distance and movement similarity of horse pairs belonging to the (i) same family (i.e., a female and its 15 years old pre-dispersal offspring, n = 70 horse pairs), (ii) different family but same harem ( n = 707), (iii) different harem (same herd, n = 20959); and (iv) of a bachelor and a harem-living individual pair ( n = 8778), in a single 5-min observation session. The pairs distance increases while movement similarity decreases from family to herd including bachelors. Boxes range from the 25th to 75th percentile, while central marks denote medians, whiskers extend to extreme data points not considered outliers (marked in red).
