Conflict of Interests, A

Synopsis: Conflict is common in the animal world; it might be over food, mates or territory. Disputes do not always end in fights; the occurrence and intensity of aggressive behaviours is directly related to the costs and benefits of fighting. The aggressive behaviour of red deer on the Scottish island of Rhum during the breeding season is observed. Great tits, whose plumage signals status, are the focus of experiments on aggressive reactions at feeding sites.

As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
