TL;DR: A new theory is presented, of a feedback loop between knowledge of rank and consequent behavior, that explains the transition to strategic aggression and the formation and persistence of dominance hierarchies in groups capable of both social memory and inference.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe their experiences with computational text analysis involving rich social and cultural concepts, and provide a set of key questions that can guide work in this area, based on their own experiences and is therefore inherently imperfect.

TL;DR: In this article, the rank-dependent social dominance of individuals within social dominance hierarchies was analyzed in 172 social groups across 85 species in 23 orders and found that the majority of the groups (133 groups, 77%) follow a downward heuristic, but a significant minority (38 groups, 22%) show more complex social dominance patterns (close competitors or bullying) consistent with higher levels of social information use.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed statistical mass estimators from six quadratic combinations of CMB temperature and polarization fields that can simultaneously recover large-scale structure and cluster mass profiles.
