Two blue tit Parus caeruleus populations from Corsica differ in social dominance
Although the causes and consequences of social dominance have been examined extensively, avian studies have rarely focused on between‐population differences in social dominance. On the island of Corsica, two resident blue tit Parus caeruleus populations 25 km apart differ significantly in body size...

Although the causes and consequences of social dominance have been examined extensively, avian studies have rarely focused on between‐population differences in social dominance.

Because earlier avian studies have shown that social dominance is influenced by body size or mass, we predicted that individuals from these two blue tit populations would also differ in their ability to dominate other individuals. Consistent with this prediction, we found that male blue tits of these two populations differ in social dominance, and that heavier or larger individuals dominate lighter or smaller ones in aviary experiments.
