The Summerhall complex has been such a focus for linking art and science in #Edinburgh, usually on a shoestring budget, but many thanks due to Robert McDowell et al. since 2011.

dom: Animal dominance archive (2022)
Animal dominance interaction data published over a century of research. The archive contains 434 agonistic interaction datasets, totaling over 241,000 interactions. A directed edge (i,j) corresponds to an antagonist interaction between i (winner) and j (loser). If a 'weight' edge property map exists, it counts the number of such interactions.
