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 ].

Jan 13, 2022 · "Dominance hierarchies in groups are incredibly common. But species form these systems in ways that might look similar but are managed quite differently," Hobson said. In some animals, sheer size ...
Jan 6, 2011 · Taken together, the dominance relationships in all pairs in a group constitute the dominance hierarchy. These hierarchies are often linear in form. In a linear hierarchy, one animal dominates all the others, a second dominates all but the top one, and so on down to the last animal that is dominated by all the others.
Jan 1, 2021 · In species characterized by single-male groups, the dominance hierarchy describes relationships among the females only (and vice versa), whereas in multi-male/multi-female groups, all adults of one sex are usually dominant over the other (e.g., the more rare female dominance in ring-tailed lemurs; Koyama et al. 2005), and the dominance hierarchies of males and females are often analyzed ...

Jan 1, 2011 · A broad range of species—from insects to humans—form these types of relationships and hierarchies, and where they occur, hierarchy rank has wide-ranging and serious consequences for individuals (Addison and Simmel, 1970, Barkan et al., 1986, Goessmann et al., 2000, Hausfater et al., 1982, Heinze, 1990, Nelissen, 1985, Post, 1992, Savin-Williams, 1980, Vannini and Sardini, 1971, Wilson, 1975).

Jan 12, 2022 · Dominance hierarchies were first described in chickens a century ago by a Norwegian zoologist who coined the term “pecking order.”. Since then researchers such as University of Cincinnati biologist Elizabeth Hobson have examined the intricacies of conflict and competition in species as diverse as primates, whales, birds and insects.

How do you measure a dominance hierarchy?
How do dominants maintain their rank?
Hierarchies are maintained via social dynamics like punishment and threats [18,19] as well as signals that provide information about rank, including signals of individual identity and dominance [20,21]. In this review, we describe the behaviours used to estab-lish and maintain dominance hierarchies (figure 1).
