Initial dominance hierarchy formation may be influenced by multiple interacting factors, including an animal's individual attributes, conventions and self-organizing social dynamics.

  2. In the zoological field of ethology, a dominance hierarchy (formerly and colloquially called a pecking order) is a type of social hierarchy that arises when members of animal social groups interact, creating a ranking system.

  6. 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.

  7. Jan 1, 2022 · Dominance hierarchy emerges in social animals to organize priority of access to limiting resources. The dominance order is maintained by aggressive and submissive acts, and the rank order could be determined by physical attributes or social dynamics within the group.
