  1. Jan 10, 2022 · Transitive inference may be favoured in social species with linear dominance hierarchies because it allows animals to keep track of dominance relationships while minimizing direct conflict. Further, hierarchies may form much more quickly when animals use transitive inference and social observation to assess rival ranks than when ranks are determined via direct aggressive competition [ 63 ].

  2. Jun 22, 2009 · Dominance hierarchies based on resource holding potential (RHP) or age are central to the social structure of many group-living animals. Nonhuman primate females and some other mammals are unusual because ranks can depend on kin support or follow an inverse age-graded pattern independent of kin.

  3. Aug 13, 2024 · As calculating steepness may have little meaning in the absence of a linear hierarchy, we also calculated the modified Landau’s linearity index and its significance for each sampled group (using the h.index function of the “EloRating” package; de Vries 1995; de Vries et al. 2006; Neumann and Kulik 2020) so as to be able to rerun the analyses including only data on social groups that had ...

  5. Sep 9, 2020 · Across group-living animals, linear dominance hierarchies lead to disparities in access to resources, health outcomes and reproductive performance. Studies of how dominance rank predicts these traits typically employ one of several dominance rank metrics without examining the assumptions each metric makes about its underlying competitive processes.

  6. Jan 1, 2021 · In small groups of animals, the dominance hierarchy may be linear (Craig 1986), which means that the highest ranking animal (A) is dominant over the second highest animal (B), who is dominant over C and so on down to the lowest ranking animal. A dominance hierarchy can also be triangular, where A is dominant over B and C, but C is dominant over A.
