Rules of engagement for resource contests in a social fish (2011, background): “This contrasts with what has been found in some other species (Cole et al. 1980; Holder et al. 1991; Johnsson et al. 2001; Briffa & Dallaway 2007; Draud et al. 2004; Arnott & Elwood 2009b) where males and females fight according to different rules.”
The human anger face evolved to enhance cues of strength (2014, background): “As has been documented in hundreds of species, relative fighting ability in animals is a crucial determinant of winning conflicts (Arnott & Elwood, 2009).”
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).”
Reduced sea water pH disrupts resource assessment and decision making in the hermit crab Pagurus bernhardus (2011, background): “…order to make decisions such as where to look for food (Pyke et al. 1977), how to choose a potential mate (Jennions & Petrie 1997), which habitat to settle in (Johnson & Strathmann 1989), whether to hide to avoid predators (Lima & Dill 1990), or whether to enter into a fight (Arnott & Elwood 2009).”
Effects of isotocin on social responses in a cooperatively breeding fish (2012, background): “The pairs were not size-matched because wewanted to be able to separate statistically the effects of focal and opponent body size on aggression (see Arnott & Elwood 2009).”
