Social hierarchy in roosters determines order of crowing
Institute of Transformative Bio-Molecules (WPI-ITbM), Nagoya University
24 Jul 2015
From ancient times, people have been aware of the rooster’s “cock-a-doodle-do” that marks the break of dawn, but has anyone wondered who crows first? In a new study, ITbM’s biologists have revealed that there is actually a systematic rule based on social ranking that determines the order of crowing in roosters.
