“…This definition is consistent with much of the previous research because dominance has traditionally been associated with fighting ability (Packer and Pusey 1985;Chapais 1991;Pierotti et al 1997). The close relationship between dominance and fighting ability accounts for the fact that dominance is often correlated with body size (Dugatkin and Ohlsen 1990;Lemel and Wallin 1993;Piper 1997). Also note that dominance does not require the use of force but can also be based upon the potential to use force, for even the infrequent use of force can be very effective (Chapais 1992).…”

“…Drews 1993). This problem has only been magnified with researchers using different methods for applying the concept of dominance to empirical studies (e.g., direction of aggression: Vestergaard et al 1993; priority of access: Lemel and Wallin 1993; direction of aggression and priority of access : Frank 1986; spatial position and priority of access : Johnsson 1993;weight: Dugatkin and Ohlsen 1990). Consequently, attempts to link dominance and fitness have met with mixed results, causing the evolutionary significance of the dominance concept itself to be called into question (for review: Fedigan 1983).…”

“…Another important aspect of power that is often confused in cross-species comparisons is that asymmetries may differ between dyads composed of strangers and dyads in which an established relationship exists (Lemel and Wallin 1993;Preuschoft and van Schaik 2000). When two individuals have never met before or both individuals do not recognize each other, a relationship does not exist (cf.…”

“…Interactions between strangers may be influenced by asymmetries; these interactions should be referred to by other terms that indicate the basis of the asymmetry, however (e.g., size, experience, fighting ability). Strangers are likely to use signals to assess these asymmetries (Lemel and Wallin 1993; Preuschoft and van Schaik 2000) because they do not have an established relationship.…”

Condition-dependence is a fundamental concept in sexual selection research. Costs of mate choice (in terms of time, energy, and opportunity) necessitate benefits that outweigh these costs. A major group of benefits arises from condition-dependence, which means the adjustment of signals to the physiological state of the individual, as a consequence of the costs of expressing elaborate signal values (Penn & Számadó, 2020). Condition-dependence may link signal expression to the additive genetic background of condition (Rowe & Houle, 1996), thereby building a connection between mate choice and adaptation to the prevailing environment (Lorch et al., 2003), at the same time also lessening the chance that directional selection by mate choice depletes the additive genetic variance of the signal (Tomkins et al., 2004). Recent research of condition-dependent signals has brought new suggestions for general mechanisms connecting organismal performance and signal expression (Emlen et al., 2012; Koch et al., 2017; Lailvaux & Irschick, 2006). Another promising direction might be the use of overarching, multidimensional approaches to condition (Milot et al., 2014). At the same time, a tendency is seen for the preservation (Labocha & Hayes, 2012), reinstatement (Schulte-Hostedde et al., 2005), and reinterpretation (Salin et al., 2015) of classical condition measures. All of these developments make sense only if we (a) clarify the timing and mechanism of signal production and (b) also take into account the possibility that signal expression may feed back to condition, for example, through resource acquisition (Klug et al., 2010) or aggression by conspecifics (Webster et al., 2018).
