ResumoMultiple measures of dominance were compared using a total of forty-eight pigtail monkeys (Macaca nemestrina). A measure of 'peck-order' was selected and changes in the status hierarchy were studied during a 5-year period. The hierarchy was found to be remarkably stable and even the natural replacement of the alpha male produced only moderate changes in the rank order structure.
