TL;DR
Fighting behavior, leading to the establishment of stable dominant-subordinate relationships between pairs of males, is described for the cockroach Nauphoeta cinerea.
Abstract
Fighting behavior, leading to the establishment of stable dominant-subordinate relationships between pairs of males, is described for the cockroach Nauphoeta cinerea. Deaths, which do not appear to be due to external damage, occur in subordinate animals as a result of fighting. The situation is likened to death from stress as found in mammals.

Groups of adult male field crickets caged in small arenas form essentially linear dominance hierarchies which are stable for short periods of time and can be described in terms of several characteristics.
Biological BulletinEXPERIMENTALLY INDUCED RELEASE OF NEUROSECRETORY MATERIALS FROM ROACH CORPORA CARDIACA
99 Citations1959Edward S. Hodgson, S. Geldiay
It is suggested that the release of neurosecretory substances from the corpora cardiaca of adult female roaches, particularly those stained dark blue with chrome hematoxylin and those stained pink by phloxine, are markedly depleted following administration of electric shocks.

Arguments are presented to show that threat, seizing and dragging represent increasing strengths of aggressive motivation, and that colony odour remains the most potent stimulus to aggression.

Male cicada killers set up territories which are defended against intrusion by other males, other insects, and even thrown pebbles, and localizing of territories in places of high emergence hole density fosters male-female interaction because the owners are more likely to contact emerging females.
ScienceDefense of Mate and Mating Chamber in a Wood Roach
35 Citations1964Hope Thomas Martin Ritter
Studies of the eastern wood roach reveal that, under laboratory conditions, the mating chambers in rotten wood are inhabited by mated pairs, the male of which will usually defend the chamber successfully against intruding males by a form of fighting.
