Origins of behavioural variability: categorical and discriminative assessment in serial contests

Article Abstract:

The behavior of animal is challenging to document and understand largely due to its variability and apparent unpredictability. The hawk-dove game, the asymmetrical war of attrition and the sequential assessment game are the three basic approaches that are used to assess the pairwise contests.

Measuring the reliability of skew indices: is there one best index?

Article Abstract:

If unreliable indices are used, recommendation to measure skew with multiple indices is excessive and quite possibly misleading. The properties of B index, which are most reliable and useful under a wide range of assumptions, are presented.
