Konrad Lorenz on Colour - Dictionary of Arguments
Lorenz I 20 Colors/aggression/animal kingdom: Strongly colored fish are not to be held together in a small space. At most a single fish in a group of differently colored. I 21 The more colorful, the more resident and more aggressive. I 23 The most aggressive (strong-colored) fish in an aquarium were the ones who had no conspecifics to work off on them. I 25 The most extreme aggressiveness is in those billboard-colored, wild fishes, which display their belonging through the color at a great distance. >Psychological theories on Aggression. I 43 Colors/aggression/fish/Lorenz: the residential-bound, strongly colored aggressive fish live in a place where there is particularly abundant and diverse food available: on the coral reef. I 44 Explanation: here, like in a human colony, they can seize the "most diverse professions". I 55 Colors/signals/aggression/animal kingdom/Lorenz: where we find strong colors and bizarre forms in males, it is almost always the female who has the last word in the partner selection. The males do not fight. >Psychological theories on behavior._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
