• Assessing dominance hierarchies: validation and advantages of progressive evaluation with Elo-rating (2011, methodology): “…(i.e., w) weighed by the w values of its 408 interaction partners and likewise, l2 equals an individual‟s summed losing proportions 409 (i.e., l) weighed by the l values of its interaction partners (David 1987; Gammell et al. 410 2003; see de Vries et al. 2006 for an illustrative example).”
• The relation between social rank, neophobia and individual learning in starlings (2006, unknown): “However , de Vries et al. (2006) have recently developed a simpler correction to P ij and the latter was adopted here: d ij ¼ ða ij þ 0:5Þ=ðn ij þ 1Þ. David's scores were calculated for displacements, pecking, tugging of tail feathers and threats.”
• Comparative transitive and temporal orderliness in dominance networks (2013, methodology): “Because the distribution of Elo-rating scores within a hierarchy is often decidedly skewed, we used the Gini coefficient as an index of steepness, rather than the slope of linearly regressing rank against score that was proposed by de Vries et al. (2006).”
• Precision and power in the analysis of social structure using associations (2008, background): “de Vries 1995; Poisbleau et al. 2006; de Vries et al. 2006 ).”
• Network structure is related to social conflict in a cooperatively breeding fish (2013, background): “…organization of the dominance hierarchy (i.e. linearity or transitivity), the degree to which dominant individuals are likely to win a contest over subordinate individuals is an important characteristic of dominance relationships (van Hooff & Wensing 1987; de Vries et al. 2006; Whitehead 2008).”
• Social network analysis of animal behaviour : a promising tool for the study of sociality (2008, background): “Note, however, that concepts of dominance developed quite independently of social network analysis (e.g. de Vries et al. 2006).”
• Choosing an appropriate index to construct dominance hierarchies in animal societies: a comparison of three indices (2010, methodology): “After the completion of this study it was brought to our attention that de Vries et al. (2006) have proposed an index adapted from DS that appears to combine the advantages of both FDI and DS when there are many reversals and/or many noninteracting pairs.”
