Numerous studies have shown that resource owners tend to behave more aggressively and win more contests than intruders. These trends could result from (1) resources causing owners to behave more aggressively, (2) intruders behaving less aggressively when fighting owners or (3) a combination of both. Here, I used an aggressive mangrove killifish, Kryptolebias marmoratus to examine the importance of individuals’ ownership status to the contest decisions of the individual and its opponent. I provided a shelter to one of the contestants of a pair (type I: owner vs. intruder), neither contestant (type II: non-owner vs. non-owner) or both contestants (type III: owner vs. owner), and then staged a contest between them. The contest interactions between owners and non-owners (in type I contests) were influenced by whether or not the shelter owner was inside the shelter at the contest start. Owners that were in their shelters at the contest start showed a greater tendency to fight and won more contests than their opponents; those outside the shelter at the start did not. Further analyses showed that owners’ position at the start of the contest (inside or outside the shelter) did not affect the owners’ own aggressiveness, but did affect that of their non-owner opponents: non-owners were less aggressive when faced with owners inside shelters. Analyses of the contestants’ behavior in type I and II contests showed that (1) shelter owners had a higher tendency to fight than non- owners whether or not they were in their shelters at the start, and (2) intruder had a lower tendency to fight than non-owners only against owners that were inside the shelter at the start. Furthermore, contestants’ behavior in type III contests showed that shelter owners’ tendency to fight never decrease, even though they against another shelter owner that were inside the shelter at the start. Overall, these results demonstrate (1) that ownership status influences both owners’ and intruders’ contest decisions (in opposite directions), producing a detectable ownership advantage and (2) that intruders require confirmation of their opponents’ ownership status before retreating without challenging them. Ownership status per se is therefore important to the fish’s contest decisions.遮蔽物資源擁有權入侵者攻擊性Kryptolebias marmoratusshelterownership statusintruderaggressionKryptolebias marmoratus是否為資源擁有者之狀態上的差異如何影響紅樹林鱂魚的打鬥策略How does resource ownership influence contest decisions in Kryptolebias marmoratus
