Physiological constraints on contest behaviour
M Briffa, LU Sneddon - Functional Ecology, 2007 - Wiley Online Library
Summary 1 Contests may involve injurious fighting, other types of direct physical aggression
and communication. They occur over ownership access to mates and other resources that …

Resource holding potential, subjective resource value, and game theoretical models of aggressiveness signalling
PL Hurd - Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2006 - Elsevier
Empirical evidence suggests that aggressiveness (willingness to enter into, or escalate an
aggressive interaction) may be more important than the ability to win fights in some species …

Modulation of aggressive behaviour by fighting experience: mechanisms and contest outcomes
Y Hsu, RL Earley, LL Wolf - Biological Reviews, 2006 - cambridge.org
Experience in aggressive contests often affects behaviour during, and the outcome of, later
contests. This review discusses evidence for, variations in, and consequences of such …

The role of asymmetries in animal contests
P Hammerstein - Animal behaviour, 1981 - Elsevier
This paper contains a game theoretical analysis of animal contest situations which are
asymmetric in more than one aspect: two opponents may for example be imagined which …

Badges of status and the cost of aggression
RA Johnstone, K Norris - Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 1993 - Springer
The “badges of status” hypothesis suggests that frequency-dependent selection can
maintain honest signalling of aggressiveness. Analysis of a simple ESS model reveals that …

The winner and loser effect: what fighting behaviours are influenced?
Y Hsu, LL Wolf - Animal Behaviour, 2001 - Elsevier
We examined the effect of prior winning and losing experiences on the initiating and
responding strategies of contestants in contests between individuals of Rivulus marmoratus …

Escalated damselfly territorial contests are energetic wars of attrition
JH Marden, JK Waage - Animal Behaviour, 1990 - Elsevier
Thirteen pairs of neighbouring Calopteryx maculata (Odonata: Calopterygidae) males were
manipulated such that members of each pair became residents in the same territory, thereby …

[HTML][HTML] Probing motivational state during agonistic encounters in animals
Animals commonly compete for resources by direct aggression: for example, spiders fight for
web sites, male red deer fight for females, and scorpionflies fight for prey. The application of …

Winners and losers: a meta‐analysis of functional determinants of fighting ability in arthropod contests
MC Vieira, PEC Peixoto - Functional Ecology, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
Many game‐theoretical models assume that the outcome of agonistic interactions depends
on morphological and physiological asymmetries between rivals (the RHP‐asymmetry …

Game theory and the evolution of behaviour
JM Smith - Proceedings of the Royal Society of London …, 1979 - royalsocietypublishing.org
How far can game theory account for the evolution of contest behaviour in animals? The first
qualitative prediction of the theory was that symmetric contests in which escalation is …
