Sexual dimorphism in ritualized agonistic behaviour, fighting ability and contest costs of Sus scrofa

Frontiers in Zoology, 2022
Background Sexual selection has driven sexual dimorphism in agonistic behaviour in many species. Agonistic behaviour is fundamentally altered by domestication and captivity, but it is unclear whether ancestral sex differences remain. We aimed to evaluate
