• Understanding how animals fight with Lloyd Morgan's canon (2012, background): “As in human warfare, the ability of opponents to gather and use information is important and likely to influence contest outcomes (Arnott & Elwood 2008, 2009).”
• Mirror, mirror on the wall: the predictive value of mirror tests for measuring aggression in fish (2014, background): “Most often, aggression is measured in staged encounters between two individuals (e.g. Huntingford 1980; Dingemanse et al. 2007; Arnott and Elwood 2009), with or without physical barriers between contestants (e.g. Bakker and Sevenster 1983; Verbeek et al. 2007).”
• Assessment of fighting ability in animal contests (2009, background): “How the ability to gather information about resources influences fight behaviour has recently been reviewed (Arnott & Elwood 2008).”
• Rules of engagement for resource contests in a social fish (2011, background): “Individuals fight to secure mating opportunities or any other limited resource and such resource contests are widespread throughout the animal kingdom (Parker 1974; Enquist & Leimar 1987; Huntingford & Turner 1987; Archer 1988; Arnott & Elwood 2008; Briffa & Sneddon 2010).”
• The absence of one’s intimate partner promotes dyadic competition through enhanced interbrain synchronization between opponents (2024, background): “…was absent, female participants may have immersed themselves in competitive interactions to the same extent as their competitors, actively recalling competition and related experiences in the late stages of competition and trying to control the competitive situation (Arnott and Elwood, 2008).”
