The effect of social context and learning on aggression biases: consequences for the role of male-male competition in speciation and a field study in cichlid fish

Male-male competition and female-female competition can play important roles in the origin and maintenance of phenotypic polymorphism and speciation. If territory owners bias aggression towards others of their own phenotype, rare male phenotypes will be involved in fewer costly fights, facilitating...
