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.

Highly Polymorphic Microsatellite Markers for the Assessment of Male Reproductive Skew and Genetic Variation in Critically Endangered Crested Macaques ( Macaca nigra )

Antje Engelhardt, +3 more
- 21 Jul 2017 - 
TL;DR: The results suggest that the Tangkoko population of crested macaques is still genetically variable despite its small size, isolation, and the species’ reproductive patterns, and gives hope that other endangered primate species living in small, isolated populations may also retain a healthy gene pool, at least in the short term.

Bystanders, parcelling, and an absence of trust in the grooming interactions of wild male chimpanzees.

Stefano S. K. Kaburu, +1 more
- 09 Feb 2016 - 
TL;DR: Testing the parcelling model and the effect of bystander presence using grooming interactions of wild chimpanzees found that with more bystanders, initiators gave less grooming at the beginning of the bout and were more likely to abandon a grooming bout.

Shared decision-making allows subordinates to lead when dominants monopolize resources

Danai Papageorgiou, +1 more
- 25 Nov 2020 - 
TL;DR: The role of shared decision-making in maintaining the balance of influence within animal societies is demonstrated by studying movement initiations of wild vulturine guineafowl, a species that forms large, stable social groups with a steep dominance hierarchy.

Chimpanzees communicate to two different audiences during aggressive interactions

Pawel Fedurek, +2 more
- 01 Dec 2015 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the role of other call types produced by victims of aggression was investigated, and it was found that victim scream and "waa" bark calls are directed at different audiences and fulfil different social functions.

Determinants of immigration strategies in male crested macaques (Macaca nigra).

Pascal R. Marty, +5 more
- 18 Aug 2016 - 
TL;DR: It is concluded that male crested macaques base their immigration strategy on relative fighting ability and thus potential rank in the new group i.e. potential reproductive benefits, as well as potential costs of injury.

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.
