In social animals, the formation of dominance hierarchy is essential for maintaining the stability and efficacy of social groups. A study by Wang and colleagues employ a combination of comparative genomic and functional approaches to shed new light on both the genetic mechanisms and the evolutionary histories of dominance behavior. Many animals ...

Jan 10, 2022 · (a) How and why do individuals change position in the dominance hierarchy? Social rank has important consequences for individuals, impacting stress physiology, social relationships, longevity, immune function and reproductive success [5–8].
A dominance hierarchy refers to the ranking system that results from competitive interactions between individuals in group-living mammals. It influences their behavior, reproductive success, and overall health.
Apr 16, 2002 · Our results suggest that dominance hierarchy formation is a much richer and more complex phenomenon than previously thought, and we explore the implications of these results for evolutionary biology, the social sciences, and the use of animal models in understanding human social organization.

Apr 17, 2023 · Dominance interactions and hierarchies are of long-standing interest in the field of animal behaviour. Currently, dominance hierarchies are viewed as complex social structures formed by repeated interactions between individuals. Most studies on this phenomenon come from single-species groups. However, animals are constantly surrounded by and ...
