| dc.description.abstract | Highlights
• We dispute claims that assessing relative fighting ability is cognitively complex.
• Very simple mechanisms allow sensitivity to own and/or opponent fighting ability.
• Correlational approaches are of limited use in distinguishing forms of assessment.
• We should expect continuous variation in both self- and opponent assessment.
• Assessment strategies may change dynamically with age, role and contest phase. | en_GB |
