  1. Jan 10, 2022 · Introduction. Many animal social interactions are organized hierarchically based on dominance rank. Dominance is typically defined as asymmetry in aggression by one animal towards another animal [1, 2]. However, the term dominance is used in different ways across taxa and contexts.

  2. Dominance hierarchy, a form of animal social structure in which a linear or nearly linear ranking exists, with each animal dominant over those below it and submissive to those above it in the hierarchy. Dominance hierarchies are best known in social mammals, such as baboons and wolves, and in.

  3. Jun 29, 2023 · The authors show that social hierarchies have a pyramidal structure across species. From infancy, humans use this assumption to infer unobserved dominance relations.

  4. 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 ...

  5. Jan 12, 2022 · In the decades since Schjelderup-Ebbe’s first observations, researchers have learned much about dominance hierarchies, including the ways animals signal their superiority to others, the clever ways they avoid conflict and how factors like group size and social alliances affect the order.

  6. Jan 10, 2022 · Nearly all societies are structured by some type of dominance hierarchy. Schjelderup-Ebbe's observation of hierarchically structured aggression in chickens prompted research aimed at understanding potentially similar hierarchical structures in other species.

  7. Apr 6, 2015 · We show that triadic network motifs provide unique insights into the general patterns of dominance hierarchy structure in animals and the processes that give rise to social order.
