Abstract
Intra-male aggressive behaviour of Scarites buparius was analysed; agonistic interactionbetweenmales consisted of a repeated series of fighting events.We definedthis behaviour as “agonistic” because a dominance/submission status wasestablished. We measured the males and found that the attack behaviour persistenceis correlated with the body length.File in questo prodotto:
