Abstract: Abstract The Hawk–Dove model has been used to explain how aggression evolves in animal species. However, testing this model with experimental data has proven challenging because the two model parameters, V and C, are difficult to measure. We propose a novel consumer-resource model that overcomes these difficulties, and we explore the dynamical behavior of the model. Furthermore, by studying a series of consumer-resource models with interactions based on the Hawk–Dove game, we make new predictions for how the level of aggression may change with the richness of the environment, animal mortality, and the amount of time spent fighting.
