A more appropriate expression would be "ability to fight."
Example: "His ability to fight in the ring has earned him numerous championships."
Alternatives: "fighting skills" or "combat ability."
In addition, we assumed that costs of fights and assessment of fighting abilities are not fixed, but that they emerge from evolving within-fight behaviour.
Correlated changes were predicted between signal traits and the component of fighting ability they reflected, as well as between traits signalling the same component of fighting ability.
While longer persistence in fights allows a better assessment of fighting abilities, it also increases fighting costs.
I do hope so but were I Tyrion I might begin to worry about just how many secrets Bronn knows, given Jaime's (lack of) fighting ability when it comes to Shae's whereabouts.
Honest signaling of fighting ability by queens can be ruled out based on the peaceful behavior of queens in the ablated groups.

However, honeybee queens are known to communicate by sound [15] and pheromones [29], thus it is possible that certain components of these cues [30], [31] may be used as an indicator of fighting ability.
When multiple signals are used in agonistic encounters, which components of fighting ability may interest the opponent?
The dominant frequency of the knee-clicking sound honestly indicated body size, a main determinant of fighting ability.
If, however, the signal traits reflected multiple messages, we predicted that they would align with different principal components, each reflecting a distinct aspect of fighting ability.
