Abstract

Here, we argue that behavioral ecologists can do even more than we have done to facilitate new, interdisciplinary collaborations. Our argument is a general one, but we focus on how to do this with winner and loser effects. We develop a new, general model of winner and loser effects as the outcome of flexible decisions about how much to invest in competition and discuss the model’s implications for overall levels of conflict within a species. Finally, we argue that winner and loser effects is a topic ripe for fostering collaborations with researchers in cultural anthropology and sports psychology.
