- Across group-living animals, linear dominance hierarchies lead to disparities in access to resources, health outcomes and reproductive performance.

Animal groups are often organized hierarchically, with dominant individuals gaining priority access to resources and reproduction over subordinate individuals. Initial dominance hierarchy formation may be influenced by multiple interacting factors, ...
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.
Jun 22, 2009 · Dominance hierarchies based on resource holding potential (RHP) or age are central to the social structure of many group-living animals. Nonhuman primate females and some other mammals are unusual because ranks can depend on kin support or follow an inverse age-graded pattern independent of kin.

Apr 16, 2002 · In this paper we investigate the two hypotheses that are proposed most often to explain linear hierarchies: they are predetermined by differences in the attributes of animals, or they are produced by the dynamics of social interaction, i.e., they are self-organizing.
Jan 1, 2021 · Definition. A group can be defined as at least two individuals of the same species staying together for an extended period of time and actively seeking each other out in order to interact. Introduction. Many animal species, including humans, live in groups of varying size and composition.

Jan 1, 2016 · Group living in animals offers advantages like access to resources, yet also fosters competition, often leading to dominance hierarchies. These hierarchies influence resource distribution...
Sep 7, 2015 · Linear dominance hierarchies, which are common in social animals, can profoundly influence access to limited resources, reproductive opportunities and health. In spite of their importance, the mechanisms that govern the dynamics of such hierarchies remain unclear.
