    abstract = {In this study, an experiment was conducted to study the food 
  and sexual factors stimulating aggression. In particular, these were the presence 
  of food and the presence of a female in a transparent container. These factors 
  were studied to analyze if they provided the crickets with a motivation to initiate 
  aggression. The behaviors analyzed were the initial aggression time, the total 
  fight time, the hits per total fight time ratio and the dependence of weight 
  on the fight outcome. The crickets were placed in an arena, acclimated and were 
  allowed to interact afterwards. Two sets of trials were done with the addition 
  of the food stimulus or the addition of the female stimulus. The results demonstrated 
  that there was no statistical significance of the factors in the aggression 
  of the male crickets. It can be concluded from these results that the <I>Acheta 
  domesticus</I> may be less inclined to aggression due to the fact that they 
  are not an extremely isolated cricket species which does not motivate a great 
  deal of aggression.}
