Introduction Intraspecific conflict arises when critical resources are limited, such as food, territory, or access to breeding opportunities (Campagna, 2009; Bradbury and Vehrencamp, 2011; Hardy and Briffa, 2013). Arguably the most common source of agonistic interaction involves the latter, particularly competition between males for access to reproductive females (Campagna, 2009). Conflict can be costly, requiring high energy expenditure and possibly injury or death (Campagna, 2009).
