Describing the dominance hierarchy in animals: rating of individuals.
STEHLÍKOVÁ, Jitka
In this thesis I review some of methods used in research on dominance hierarchy in animals. I will focus on analytical approaches designed to quantify dominance position of individuals within a social group. These techniques include, among others, sociometric matrices and a range of dominance indices. I will discus advantages and disadvantages of various analytical tools, strategies of choice for collecting relevant behavioural data, and terminology used in this context.
