Here we report three such cases and compare the fate of those defeated alpha males. The formation of effective alliances with other adult males is considered to be crucial in determining what will happen to the defeated alpha male in the rank order after the loss of his status.}, pages = {49--55}, title = {The fate of defeated alpha male chimpanzees in relation to their social networks}, volume = {35}, year = {1994} }
