      • Many social species form dominance relationships as a direct outcome of repeated agonistic interactions, depicting asymmetries in opponents' winning abilities. Functionally, dominance relationships regulate the priority of access to resources and social interactions, and can affect individuals’ physiology and fitness.
  1. Jan 10, 2022 · It has become clear that dominance relationships are common in social taxa, as they provide a way for interacting animals to manage the trade-offs inherent in social interactions. New methods and analyses have facilitated recent advances in our understanding of the diversity and complexity of dominance interactions [ 77 , 143 , 144 ].

  2. 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].

  3. Dominance hierarchy profoundly impacts social animals’ survival, physical and mental health and reproductive success. As the measurements of dominance hierarchy in rodents become established, it is now possible to understand the neural mechanism mediating the intrinsic and extrinsic factors determining social hierarchy.

  4. Jan 10, 2022 · Dominance captures behavioural patterns found in social hierarchies that arise from agonistic interactions in which some individuals coercively exploit their control over costs and benefits to extract deference from others, often through aggression, threats and/or intimidation.

  5. Dominant individuals accrue social influence and achieve superior resource access and greater fitness through their greater coercive control over costs and benefits; they maintain their attained rank in a stable hierarchy through intimidation and threats.
