TLDR
In this article, an index to objectively assess the stability of a dominance hierarchy is proposed, which allows visualizing dominance relationships and the detection of rank dynamics, and it allows ranking hierarchies to be computed.

Payoff- and Sex-Biased Social Learning Interact in a Wild Primate Population

Axelle E. J. Bono, +7 more
- 10 Sep 2018 - 
TL;DR: The first rigorous experimental test of the existence of a payoff bias in wild primates and its interaction with the sex of the model is reported, showing that multiple social-learning biases can coexist and interact within the same species.

Consistency of dominance rank order: a comparison of David's scores with I&SI and Bayesian methods in macaques

Krishna N. Balasubramaniam, +7 more
- 01 Sep 2013 - 
TL;DR: It is concluded that DS offers consistent estimates of rank orders, except perhaps in groups with very low levels of aggression asymmetry, and hypothesize that this quality may be quantified using posterior probability scores of Bayesian rank orders and may also index macaque social styles.

Consistency in social network position over changing environments in a seasonally breeding primate

Maryjka B. Blaszczyk
- 01 Jan 2018 - 
TL;DR: It is found that both male and female vervets were consistent in most measures of direct connectedness in grooming networks across seasons, but metrics capturing indirect social connections were overall less repeatable.

Decoupling social status and status certainty effects on health in macaques: a network approach

Jessica J. Vandeleest, +11 more
- 13 Sep 2016 - 
TL;DR: In a nonhuman primate model, novel network techniques are used to decouple two components of social status, dominance rank and dominance certainty, allowing for a more complex examination of how social status impacts health.

Male Violence and Sexual Intimidation in a Wild Primate Society.

Alice Baniel, +3 more
- 24 Jul 2017 - 
TL;DR: This new, detailed study of the forms and intensity of sexual intimidation in a wild primate suggests that it may be widespread across mammalian societies, with important implications for understanding the evolution of mate choice and sexual conflict in mammals, as well as the origins of human sexual violence.

Controlling the false discovery rate: a practical and powerful approach to multiple testing

Yoav Benjamini, +1 more
- 01 Jan 1995 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a different approach to problems of multiple significance testing is presented, which calls for controlling the expected proportion of falsely rejected hypotheses -the false discovery rate, which is equivalent to the FWER when all hypotheses are true but is smaller otherwise.

Observational study of behavior: sampling methods.

Jeanne Altmann
- 01 Jan 1974 - 
TL;DR: Seven major types of sampling for observational studies of social behavior have been found in the literature and the major strengths and weaknesses of each method are pointed out.

Model selection in ecology and evolution

Jerald B. Johnson, +1 more
- 01 Feb 2004 - 
TL;DR: The steps of model selection are outlined and several ways that it is now being implemented are highlighted, so that researchers in ecology and evolution will find a valuable alternative to traditional null hypothesis testing, especially when more than one hypothesis is plausible.

The influence of social hierarchy on primate health

Robert M. Sapolsky
- 29 Apr 2005 - 
TL;DR: Whether it is high- or low-ranking animals that are most stressed in a dominance hierarchy turns out to vary as a function of the social organization in different species and populations are considered.

The logical stag: adaptive aspects of fighting in red deer ( Cervus elaphus L.)

Tim H. Clutton-Brock, +3 more
- 01 Feb 1979 - 
TL;DR: For red deer stags, up to 6% of rutting stags are permanently injured each year, while fighting success and reproductive success are closely related, within age groups as well as across them as discussed by the authors.
