OF COURSE, there are other creatures that self-organize. Ants and bees are the first things that might pop into someone's mind. And just like humans, ants and bees are pretty good at attacking their momentary rivals.
Also, my male cat asserts his dominance over our two female cats daily, thereby using sex as control. All of them are neutered and no actual sex takes place (therefore, no pleasure or reproduction), but even fixed male cats still have an instinct to whip the ladies in line, and that goes back to self-organizing behavior.
