This webinar will focus on the subject of dominance and dominance hierarchies from an ethological perspective. We’ll first discuss the definition of dominance in the scientific literature and the function of dominance hierarchies in social species. Then we'll take a detailed look at the research on dominance in wolves and domestic dogs and the discussions taking place in the scientific literature, moving away from the rhetoric and focus on the facts.
