This book contains field and laboratory research that analyze how environmental and physiological factors influence agonistic interactions and the impact these interactions have on the development of dominance relationships and resource use. This book highlights the importance for understanding shelter availability, abundance, and quality in different natural systems to develop a clearer understanding that the impact of shelter use and preference, opponent size, and sex have on dominance relationships. Animals were also shown to exhibit different social behaviors during interactions.
