Contests are an important aspect of the lives of diverse animals, from sea anemones competing for space on a rocky shore to fallow deer stags contending for access to females. Why do animals fight? What determines when fights stop and which contestant wins? Addressing fundamental questions on contest behaviour, this volume presents theoretical and empirical perspectives across a range of species. The historical development of contest research, the evolutionary theory of both dyadic and multiparty contests, and approaches to experimental design and data analysis are discussed in the first chapters. This is followed by reviews of research in key animal taxa, from the use of aerial displays and assessment rules in butterflies and the developmental biology of weapons in beetles, through to interstate warfare in humans. The final chapter considers future directions and applications of contest research, making this a comprehensive resource for both graduate students and researchers in the field.

Est-il concevable qu'un cerveau humain que tout ouvre vers l'autre et qui, au départ de notre biologie, s'est vu offrir tous les moyens de créer une société d'individus harmonieuse, soit aujourd'hui vicié par la soif de victoire et dans l'incapacité d'imaginer des mécanismes plus heureux de régulation sociale ? L'homme est conçu pour vivre avec l'autre et non contre lui. Pourquoi acceptons-nous de privilégier des instincts bellicistes, excitant les zones les plus obscures de notre cortex ? Pourquoi acceptons-nous ce suicide collectif quand tant d'autres issues sont potentiellement inscrites ? Mais quelle nouvelle race d'animaux sommes-nous pour nous fourvoyer à ce point ? S'il est une idée reçue que ce livre affronte avec force et raison, c'est celle considérant le mode relationnel compétitif entre les hommes comme majoritairement bénéfique, tant pour ces derniers que pour la société qu'ils constituent dans leur ensemble. Un ouvrage salutaire, qui s'emploie à démystifier la compétition comme mode d'interaction « naturel » entre les hommes.
