Locomotor performance and social dominance in male Anolis cristatellus (2004, background): “Such assessment of aggressive potential is predicted by evolutionary theory (Maynard Smith 1982), although the specific cues used have rarely been identified ( Hofmann & Schildberger 2001 ).”
Multiple signals in chameleon contests: designing and analysing animal contests as a tournament (2006, background): “This is likely to reflect a winner effect as in many other taxa (e.g. Jackson 1991; Zucker & Murray 1996; Schuett 1997; Hsu & Wolf 1999, 2001; Khazraie & Campan 1999; Hofman & Schildberger 2001).”
The scent of dominance: female field crickets use odour to predict the outcome of male competition (2005, background): “integer, male weight affected fighting success (Hofmann and Schildberger 2001).”
The assessment game in sand fiddler crab contests for breeding burrows (2003, background): “…of assessment models have tested the predictions of sequential assessment (e.g. Enquist & Jakobsson 1986; Englund & Olsson 1990; Enquist et al. 1990; Jennions & Backwell 1996; Jensen & Yngvesson 1998; Molina-Borja et al. 1998; Bridge et al. 2000; Hofmann & Schildberger 2001; López & Martín 2001).”
Aggressive contests in house crickets: size, motivation and the information content of aggressive songs (2006, background): “In a study of Gryllus bimacultus, heavier animals lost 30% of fights (Hofmann & Schildberger 2001).”
Behavioral correlations across activity, mating, exploration, aggression, and antipredator contexts in the European house cricket, Acheta domesticus (2010, methodology): “The aggressive measures we quantified are similar to those developed by Alexander (1961) and subsequently modified by Hofmann and Schildberger (2001).”
A behavioural syndrome in the field cricket Gryllus integer: intrasexual aggression is correlated with activity in a novel environment (2007, background): “I NTRASEXUAL AGGRESSION TEST PROCEDURE We matched male contestants by weight in our study, because male weight affects fighting success in other species of crickets ( G. bimaculatus and Acheta domesticus L.; Hofmann & Schildberger, 2001; Savage et al ., 2005).”
Male dominance and immunocompetence in a field cricket (2004, background): “Although male body weight affects male fighting success, the weight asymmetry of fighting males is not a very reliable predictor of the outcome of fights, because Hofmann and Schildberger (2001) found that heavier animals lost 30% of the encounters even if weight asymmetry was large.”
