Territorial fights between males are frequently observed among insects. However, despite the existence of theoretical models directed at explaining the possible rules adopted to decide the winner, there is little empirical support for these models. The low empirical support may be explained by difficulties in identifying traits that determine the male fighting capacity (RHP- or Resource Holding Potential) and also by the lack of simultaneous tests of different models. In this study we evaluated males traits that may determine RHP in the dragonfly Diastatops obscura. Also, we evaluated the relationship between such characteristics and duration of disputes between pairs of males to test predictions derived from the models War of Attrition (GD...
