Abstract
Statistical reliability of food-getting dominance orders of cows, sheep, chickens, parakeets, rats, and hamsters was measured by pair comparisons procedure. Significant reliabilities were found in ruminants and aves and fowls, but not in rodents. Weight is significant in determining ruminant orders, although this factor is not significant in determining orders in fowls and aves.Keywords
