Abstract
⺠We identified male traits in Diastatops obscura that determine fighting ability. ⺠We tested predictions from three game theory models regarding rules used by rivals. ⺠Males previously present in territories were more likely to win. ⺠Greater body mass was related to greater chances of victory in contests. ⺠Males seem to perform mutual evaluation of fighting ability during the contest.
