  1. Females have significantly linear hierarchies (as measured by Landau’s Modified h′ value and triangle transitivity (ttri)) as well as significantly steep hierarchies (steepness). Aggressive behavior is also significantly directionally consistent (DC). Significant values are bolded. Despotism and the Gini-Coefficient of Wins and Losses measure how evenly distributed aggressive behavior is across ranks. Female hierarchies are not highly despotic.
