Coordination and consensus: the role of compromisers in Tibetan macaques [PDF]
Current Zoology, 2021 Abstract Coordination and consensus in collective behavior have attracted a lot of research interest. Although previous studies have investigated the role of compromisers in group consensus, they provide little insight into why compromisers would allow such social arrangements to persist. In this study, the potential relationship between
