When they say rank 3, or rank 4, are they talking about quest rank or food chain rank?

Either way it makes sense but Im not sure which they intended it to be. Also considering how they are trying to be more realistic with monsters and how they show up, is no one going to talk about the fact that In MHW it took them decades to find Vaal hazak, who lives at the very bottom of the vale, but glavenus shows up in the new world out of no where and already has a subspecies living in the vale?
