The functional response, or rate of resource acquisition for a consumer should decline proportionately in the presence of other consumers vying for the same resources. Aggressive behavior should be adaptive when it serves as a leverage mechanism for enhancing resource gain above what would be obtained under a premise of equal access. Model development expands on the implications of this assertion to make several predictions pertaining to the expression and magnitude of gainful aggressive interference with respect to leverage strength,consumer density, and resource density.
