Modulation of aggressive behavior by fighting experience: Mechanisms and contest outcomes
Article Abstract:
Experience in aggressive contests often influences behavior during, and the outcome of, later contests. Evidence for, variations in, and consequences of such effects is discussed, where generally, prior winning experiences increase, and prior losing experiences decrease, the probability of winning in later contests, reflecting modifications of expected fighting ability.

Comparison of molecular mechanisms mediating cell contact phenomena in model developmental systems: An exploration of universality
Article Abstract:
The molecular bases of cell contact phenomena is investigated by using extent model development systems, and simple and complex vertebrate systems. The dynamics and regulation of cell contact phenomena is discussed.
