The technical academic term for (1) Is prestige and (2) Is Dominance. Papers which distinguish the two are actually really interesting.
Can you give us some citations? I would love to read academic papers in this domain, but somehow I've been very bad at finding stuff that relates to the thing we call "status".
Usually dominance is related to a power that is maintained by agression, stress or fear.
The usual search route will lead you to some papers: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=prestige+dominance&btnG=&hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&as_ylo=2009
What I would do would be find some 2015 2014 papers and check their bibliography, or ask the principal investigator about which papers are more interesting on it.
I have a standing interest in other primates and cetaceans as well, so I'd look for attempts to show that others have or don't have prestige.
I second Creutzer's request for links to these papers.
This one seems especially relevant to ChristianKl's comments above, but can't hurt here.
If you are particularly interested in sexual status, I wrote about it before here, dispelling some of the myth.
