  Title An analysis of the limited access measure of social dominance in rats Type Journal Article
  Year 1974 Publication Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 22 Issue 2 Pages 486-500  
  Keywords  
  Abstract The limited access situation in which only one of two or more subjects can gain access to a reward during a restricted time-period is an accepted measure of dominance in the rat. This study attempts to validate the technique by establishing the relationship between individual and competitive performance in order to determine whether `priority of access' has been measured. The generality of the competitive orders is examined by altering the competitive response while retaining the same reward. In view of the data collected for both time and weight-gain measures in food and water competition it is doubtful whether the limited access competitive technique can be considered a valid measure of dominance for the laboratory rat.

  Title The concept of spatial leadership in farm animals: An experiment with sheep Type Journal Article
  Year 1975 Publication Animal Behaviour. Abbreviated Journal Anim. Behav.  
  Volume 23 Issue Part 4 Pages 921-925  
  Keywords  
  Abstract The concept of spatial leadership as applied to farm animals is discussed with particular emphasis on methodological problems. Using three experimental procedures forced spatial leadership orders were measured in a group of Romney ewes. Comparisons between orders showed the effects of both the different experimental tasks and the social context on leadership structure. Both these variables were found to affect the orders obtained. The results are interpreted in terms of the utility of the concept of spatial leadership in domestic animals and the necessity for more systematic procedural investigations in this area.
