Abstract

Social animals do not benefit equally from being in a group. We show how individuals engage in group foraging differs in relation to their dominance rank and social associations. High and low ranking individuals’ likelihood to start a group foraging event depends heavily on how social they are. Understanding how different types of individual arrive to group foraging events can provide clues about benefits animals receive from foraging in a group.
