  Title Animal behaviour: Born leaders Type Journal Article
  Year 2011 Publication Abbreviated Journal Nature  
  Volume 474 Issue 7351 Pages 288-289  
  Keywords * Animal behaviour * Evolution * Psychology  
  Abstract Social animals face a dilemma. To reap the benefits of group living, they have to stay together. However, individuals differ in their preferences as to where to go and what to do next. If all individuals follow their own preferences, group coherence is undermined, resulting in an outcome that is unfavourable for everyone. Neglecting one's own preferences and following a leader is one way to resolve this coordination problem. But what attributes make an individual a 'leader'? A modelling study by Johnstone and Manica1 illuminates this question.
