✦ Synopsis


Social interactions in a captive herd of 13 elands were investigated in an enclosed zoo population. Data from focal and scan sampling provided dominance rank, indices of affiliative interaction and association at rest. While there was a tendence for age and dominance to be positively correlated among females, an effect of matrilineal genealogy was also observed. This effect could be related to the amliative interaction between mother and young causing offspring to share the hierarchical position of their mother. 0
