Effect of affiliative and agonistic relationships on leadership behaviour in free-ranging dogs (2010, background): “Although it is widely recognized that group decision making arises from complex interactions and social relationships between group members (Dunbar 1983; Lamprecht 1992; Byrne 2000; Couzin & Krause 2003; Couzin et al. 2005; Fischhoff et al. 2007; Dyer et al. 2009), few studies have explored the link”
Where Next? Group Coordination and Collective Decision Making by Primates (2011, background): “This is supported by empirical examples in plains zebra (Equus burchellii) and chacma baboons (Papio ursinus), in which those with greatest motivation to perform a particular behavior act first (Fischhoff et al. 2007; King et al. 2008).”
The keystone individual concept: an ecological and evolutionary overview (2014, background): “…the strength with which a keystone individual’s hormonal state exerts an influence on other group members (e.g. lactation in plains zebra, Equus burchellii: Fischhoff et al., 2007), or (3) high neuroendocrine activity (e.g. basal cortisol and testosterone levels in primates; Alberts et al., 1992).”
Organization of Group Members at Departure Is Driven by Social Structure in Macaca (2008, background): “This would explain why lactating females (African buffalo, Syncerus caffer: Prins 1989; plains zebra, Equus burchellii: Fischhoff et al. 2007) or dominant individuals (cattle, Bos indicus: Reinhardt 1983; dwarf mongoose, Helogale parvula: Rasa 1983) are often in the front of a progression.”
Collective cognition in animal groups. (2009, background): “If relatively few informed individuals bias grouping tendency with a desired direction of travel (such as towards a resource or away from a threat [31, 32 ]) they can accurately guide other, nai¨ve, group members.”
Selective mimetism at departure in collective movements of Macaca tonkeana: an experimental and theoretical approach (2009, background): “However, individuals have to move collectively to another spot to forage or to drink (Kummer 1968; Boinski & Garber 2000; Fischhoff et al. 2007).”
Female white-handed gibbons (Hylobates lar) lead group movements and have priority of access to food resources (2008, background): “The conflicting requirements of individuals may motivate them differently to take the leadership role in some but not in other circumstances (e.g., baboons: Muruthi et al., 1991; Eulemur fulvus fulvus and Propithecus diadema edwardsi: Erhart & Overdorff, 1999; zebras: Fischhoff et al., 2007).”
Sociality: The Behaviour of Group-Living Animals (2016, background): “Much as for the examples discussed above, the rearmost ducklings required less effort to propel themselves than did those at the front of the procession (Fish 1995 ). Similarly, processions of migrating spiny lobsters ( Panulirus argus ) appear to benefi t from reduced drag. Bill and Herrnkind (1976”
Personality differences explain leadership in barnacle geese (2009, background): “Leadership can be affected by experience (Reebs 2000), motivation (Fischhoff et al. 2007) or dominance (Stahl et al.”
A framework for community identification in dynamic social networks (2007, background): “Social networks have attracted a large amount of attention from epidemiologists [21, 25, 28], sociologists [5, 29, 38], biologists (animal interactions) [7, 6, 10, 30, 36], the intelligence community (terrorism networks) [3, 23, 24], and more recently also from computer scientists [1, 11, 14, 17, 18”
Graded leadership by dominant animals in a herd of female beef cattle on pasture (2010, background): “A specific reproductive status such as lactation may also incite some individuals into initiating movements (Fischhoff et al. 2007).”
