“…These include territory acquisition and defence, mate acquisition, parental care, intra-and interspecific interactions, mode of reproductive success (within-versus extra-pair paternity) and anti-predation behaviour (e.g. Wingfield 1984;Huntingford & Turner 1987;Ketterson et al 1992;Moss et al 1994;Raouf et al 1997;Duckworth 2006a). Consequently, aggression can exert a significant influence on both large-scale population dynamics and important evolutionary processes (e.g.…”

Individual differences in behaviour are ubiquitous in nature. Despite the likely role of selection in maintaining these differences, there are few demonstrations of their fitness consequences in wild populations and, consequently, the mechanisms that link behavioural variation to variation in fitness are poorly understood. Specifically, the consequences of consistent individual differences in behaviour for the evolution of social and mating strategies have rarely been considered. We examined the functional links between variation in female aggression and her social and mating strategies in a wild population of the social lizard Egernia whitii. We show that female Egernia exhibit temporally consistent aggressive phenotypes, which are unrelated to body size, territory size or social density. A female's aggressive phenotype, however, has strong links to her mode of paternity acquisition (within-versus extra-pair paternity), with more aggressive females having more offspring sired by extra-pair males than less aggressive females. We discuss the potential mechanisms by which female aggression could underpin mating strategies, such as the pursuit/acceptance of extra-pair copulations. We propose that a deeper understanding of the evolution and maintenance of social and mating systems may result from an explicit focus on individual-level female behavioural phenotypes and their relationship with key reproductive strategies.

“…A particularly dramatic example was found by Petrie (1984) who studied territory size in the moorhen (Gallinula chloropus) and found that relative male weight was a RHP with reference to others (for a review of the non-primate animal literature see Huntingford and Turner, 1987, for primate examples see Smuts et al, 1987).…”

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, evolutionary biology underwent a scientific revolution in which poorly defined models of evolutionary change were replaced with a theoretically rigorous program of research that integrated the major findings of evolutionary biology, animal behavior, and genetics. This integration included a method, known as the adaptationist program, for identifying and describing design in organisms, a method that matches the engineering requirements inherent in adaptive problems to features in the organism that are designed to solve those problems.In this chapter, I apply the methods of the adaptationist program to human anger. The resultant theory, called the recalibrational theory, states that anger is the output of a cognitive mechanism designed by natural selection to negotiate conflicts of interest. The causes of anger, the behavior it produces, the factors that mitigate it, and its effects on physiology, perception, and cognition can be explained by reference to this adaptive function.In brief, the recalibrational theory states that anger is a system designed by natural selection to recalibrate the weight another individual places on the angry person's interests so that they become less likely to impose costs or deny benefits to the angry individual. Anger deploys two main strategies to convince the target to treat the angry individual better: (a) toward those with

“…O gasto de energia e tempo já é maior, comprometendo o ciclo reprodutivo se houver falência nessas fases. Uma ninhada cresce em valor reprodutivo com o tempo, porque terá maior probabilidade de sobreviver até a idade reprodutiva e, portanto é condizente um maior investimento nas fases finais (HUNTINGFORD & TURNER 1987).…”
