Ritualized aggression
text:
Ritualized aggression or ritualized fighting is when animals use a range of behaviours as posture or warning but without engaging in serious aggression or fighting, which would be expensive in terms of energy and the risk of injury. Ritualized aggression involves a graded series of behaviours or displays that include threatening gestures and occasionally posturing physical actions such as inhibited (non-injurious) bites. This behavior is explained by evolutionary game theory.
