The pursuit of power affects nearly every aspect of the lives of group-living animals. Winners in the struggle for power get more food, or more mates, or better, safer living quarters, and sometimes they get a combination of such spoils. The strategic aspects of power in animals are mind-boggling. Animals assess putative opponents, spy on others, modify their behaviors when they are watched, form alliances to subdue rivals, and more. Studies of the dynamics of power show just how complex their strategies can get. [1]
