  1. Where V denotes the value of the contested resource, C WW and C SS denote the expected costs of a fight between two weak and two strong individuals respectively; C SW , and C WS is the expected cost for a strong animal fighting a weak and vice versa; and finally, F p denotes the cost of waiting if the opponent attacks unconditionally. The following relation holds between these costs: C SS  > C WS  > C WW , and C SS  > C SW  > C WW ; combinations that do not fit these conditions were not investigated. All in all, cc 10,000 parameter combinations were investigated
