	Title	Observations on the ecology and social organization of the green monkey,Cercopithecus sabaeus, in Senegal			Type	Journal Article
	Year	1974	Publication	Primates	Abbreviated Journal	Primates
	Volume	15	Issue	4	Pages	341-350
	Keywords
	Abstract	The green monkey,Cercopithecus sabaeus, has not been studied in its natural habitat in West Africa. This paper reports observations made during a 3-month study in Senegal. Green monkeys live in multimale groups averaging some 12 individuals. Information is given on home range size, use of habitat, daily activity patterns, diet and birth seasonality. Social organization is discussed and data are given on the relationships between age-sex classes, aggression and leadership. Inter-group relations are discussed and it is suggested that groups defend their ranges as territories. The ecology and social organization of green monkeys is compared with that of populations ofC. aethiops studied in East Africa and they are found to be similar.

	Title	Experimental analysis of the social value of flocking by starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) in relation to predation and foraging			Type	Journal Article
	Year	1974	Publication	Animal Behaviour.	Abbreviated Journal	Anim. Behav.
	Volume	22	Issue	2	Pages	501-505
	Keywords
	Abstract	In groups of ten, indidual starlings, Sturnus vulgaris, spent significantly less time in surveillance than did individuals in smaller groups and responded more quickly than single birds to a flying model hawk. Captive starlings in flocks reduce their individual surveillance efforts, but their combined efforts still enable them to be more effective than single birds in the detection of predators. Foraging behaviour of flocks was observed by placing single starlings with groups of tricoloured blackbirds, Agelaius tricolor; the starlings reduced the time they devoted to surveillance at the same rate as if they were with other starlings.

	Author	Richards, S.M.
	Title	The concept of dominance and methods of assessment			Type	Journal Article
	Year	1974	Publication	Animal Behaviour.	Abbreviated Journal	Anim. Behav.
	Volume	22	Issue	Part 4	Pages	914-930
	Keywords
	Abstract	The arrangement of a social group of individuals into a dominance hierarchy is useful in studies of social behaviour only if a wide variety of social interactions can then be predicted. However, definitions of dominance commonly used are numerous and confused. To assess the usefulness of the concept of dominance, studies were made on six breeding groups of rhesus macaques (Macaca mulata) to determine whether different measures of dominance agreed with each other. The measures tested in this study were found to agree. It is therefore suggested that dominance is a useful intervening variable. Possible reasons for the reported lack of correlation between some measures used by other authors are discussed.

	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	Competitive orders as measures of social dominance			Type	Journal Article
	Year	1974	Publication		Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	22	Issue	Part 4	Pages	931-940
	Keywords
	Abstract	The use of competitive orders as measures of social dominance is examined, the conclusion being that such use is based on the assumption of the unidimensionality of social dominance. Evidence is presented to show that this is not always the case. Consequently it is suggested that each competitive order must be validated in terms of its measurement of priority of access and response requirements (internal validity) as well as its generality (external validity) before it can be regarded as a dominance measure. Problems of the validity of aggression orders as measures of social dominance are also examined along with their relationship to competitive orders.
