      • Using aggressive behavior, animals of many species establish dominance hierarchies in both nature and the laboratory. Rank in these hierarchies influences many aspects of animals’ lives including their health, physiology, weight gain, genetic expression, and ability to reproduce and raise viable offspring.

  1. Jan 10, 2022 · Dominance is inherently relational, so the phenotype of reliable signals of dominance change as an individual's rank changes. For example, if a new individual takes over as the dominant queen, her chemical profile becomes queen-like [ 136 ].

  2. Jan 10, 2022 · We identify five broad questions at the individual, dyadic and group levels, exploring the causes and consequences of individual changes in rank, the dynamics underlying dyadic dominance relationships, and the origins and impacts of social instability. Although challenges remain, we propose avenues for overcoming them.

  3. Furthermore, dominance may change according to the level of organization of the phenotype. Variations of dominance highlight the complexity of understanding genetic influences on phenotypes.

  4. Dominance is a basic property of inheritance systems describing the link between a diploid genotype at a single locus and the resulting phenotype. Models for the evolution of dominance have long been framed as an opposition between the ...

  5. Jan 1, 2011 · In this chapter, we define dominance relationships and dominance hierarchies, discuss several model species used in dominance studies, and consider factors that predict the outcomes of dominance encounters in dyads and small groups of animals.

  6. Jan 10, 2022 · We suggest distinguishing between different types of social mobility to provide conceptual clarity about hierarchy dynamics at the individual level, and emphasize the need to explore how these...

  7. Four phenotypes are shown which are A, B, O and AB. These phenotypes are the result of combinations of alleles which exemplify co-dominance (A and B) as well as alleles which exemplify complete dominance (A and B over O).
