Abstract Competition over resources often leads to intra‐ and interspecific interactions, which can be detrimental the individuals involved. Thus, natural selection should favor communication systems that reliably convey information regarding relative competitive abilities of an individual, reducing need for physically damaging confrontation. Body size, sex, age, relatedness, ornamentation are important factors determining dominance across diverse taxa in intraspecific interactions. These...
Birds often compete and engage in interspecific agonistic interactions for access to resources such as food breeding territories. Based on the observed outcomes from (i.e., patterns of displacements) dominance hierarchies can be established. Knowing which species outcompete others essential allows researchers make predictions about broader ecological impacts interactions. We constructed an hierarchy twelve avian visited artificial water source arid region coastal Patagonia, Argentina....
