Question

Agonistic behavior is typically used to determine access to food, mates, or territories. This behavior often involves contests or fights between individuals to establish dominance and access to resources. It does not necessarily result in serious injury, nor is it rare among vertebrates. Agonistic behavior can also decrease the number of individuals who mate as dominant individuals may exclude others from mating opportunities.
