Jan 1, 2022 · Dominance hierarchy forms an inner structure of a society which allows society members to stay together without repeated fighting. Access to resources is provided by hierarchical status. In the ...
In this situation, a researcher who uses simple ordinal rank would conclude that the fifth-ranking male in the hierarchy remained in a constant competitive position throughout the entire study period, whereas a researcher who uses proportional rank would conclude that the fifth-ranking male transitioned from a rank of 0 to 0.5, a major change in dominance rank.
inance rank metrics without examining the assumptions each metric makes about its underlying competitive processes. Here, we compare the ability of two dominance rank metrics —simple ordinal rank and proportional or ‘stan-dardized’ rank—to predict 20 traits in a wild baboon population in Amboseli, Kenya.

- CONCLUSION
Dominance is the aspect of social hierarchy that arises from agonistic interactions involving actual aggression or threats and intimidation. Accumulating evidence points to its importance in humans and its separation from prestige--an alternate mechanism in which status arises from competence or benefit-generation ability. In this review, we first ...
Although we have every reason to suspect that the evolutionary processes and incentives identified by the logic of the models described above will apply to humans, identifying and studying dominance in our species poses particular challenges due to the influence of both cultural evolution and culture-gene coevolution. Below, we consider three key f...
The evidence reviewed above indicates that dominance continues to be a viable route to rank acquisition, impacting both social influence and fitness in humans across a wide range of contexts, and plays a role in human status asymmetries from the youngest of ages. However, the human-specific complications presented in this review cannot be overlooke...
Convergent evidence from multiple disciplines and from studies across ages, sexes, and cultures, show that agonistic and aggressive forms of rank-pursuit involving the deployment of cost-infliction or benefit-withholding strategies continues to be a viable route to social status in humans. Norm-governed coalitionary behaviors and human-specific eco...

Signals of dominance provide information about dominance rank (e.g. dominant ant queens have cuticular hydrocarbons that provide information about rank and influence queen/worker interactions ). Signals of individual identity are unique phenotypes that receivers learn and associate with individual-specific information about the sender like dominance rank.
