Lifespan
downin O. formosanus1
Territorial behavior shortens lifespan in O. formosanus (territorial females compared with nonterritorial males).
“Territorial females also had lower survival and decreased longevity compared with the nonterritorial males, but these differences disappeared when females were not territorial.”

Territorial behavior increases injury rates in O. formosanus.
“We show that territoriality was the driver behind higher injury rates in females.”
