Where one male and one female fulfil this role, they are referred to as the alpha pair (the term varies when several individuals of the same gender fulfil this role). Other animals in the same social group may exhibit deference or other symbolic signs of respect particular to their species towards the alpha.In most species, the alpha is given preference to be the first to eat and the first to mate.
