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.

The influence of a demographic change on social relationships among male golden snub-nosed monkeys ( Rhinopithecus roxellana )

TL;DR: A dramatic change in social ranks occurred accompanied by elevated aggression following this social upheaval in a captive group of golden snub-nosed monkeys, suggesting that social networks in the dispersing sex are dynamic structures and vary by some demographic change in the studied species.

Male chimpanzees communicate to mediate competition and cooperation during feeding

TL;DR: For instance, this article found that rough grunts were mostly produced by low-ranking individuals, suggesting they were part of competitive interactions to avoid aggression, while pant hoot production was best explained by the absence of socially important individuals (i.e. social bond partners and/or high-ranking males) suggesting that callers were cooperatively informing them about food availability.

Hierarchies and Dominance Behaviors in European Pond Turtle (Emys orbicularis galloitalica) Hatchlings in a Controlled Environment.

TL;DR: This study is first proof of the emergence of a social structure in the hatchlings of the European Pond Turtle in captivity, a condition that is often faced in ex situ conservation projects for this protected species.

An interpretable machine learning framework for measuring urban perceptions from panoramic street view images

TL;DR: In this paper , a five-step machine learning framework was proposed to extract neighborhood-level urban perceptions from panoramic street view images, specifically emphasizing feature and result interpretability.

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

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.

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

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

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.)

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.
