	Encyclopedia: Territory (animal)
		Many territorial mammals use scent-marking to signal the boundaries of their territories; the marks may be deposited by urination, by defecation, or by rubbing parts of the bodies that bear specialised scent glands against the substrate.
		Territoriality is not a fixed property of a species: for example, robins defend territories as pairs during the breeding season and as individuals during the winter, while some nectarivores defend territories only during the mornings (when plants are richest in nectar).
		Territoriality is only expected to emerge where there is a focused resource that provides enough for the individual or group, within a boundary that is small enough to be defended without the expenditure of too much effort.

	Laboratory Exercises in Animal Behavior - Crickets and Territory Defense
		Crickets are excellent animals to use in the study of territory defense because they exhibit a wide range of behaviors, they are readily available and easy to care for, and their territories are relatively small.
		A territory may be defined as an area that is used more or less exclusively by an individual or a group as a result of overt defense (e.g., fighting) and advertisement (e.g., singing, posturing), which prevents others from entering.
		Territories have one common theme: they provide a valuable resource, such as nesting sites, food, or shelter, to the territorial resident that enables that resident (the territory owner) to survive and reproduce.

		Some people mistakenly argue that territoriality (and other behaviors) are "good for the species" (that is, territory defense ensures the survival of the species).
		Although territoriality (or any other behavior) may indeed be "good for the species" (for example, because it ensures adequate food supplies and prevents the number of breeding individuals from becoming too high), the advantages of behavior are usually best explained in terms of survival and reproductive success of individual animals (not species).

		We have a unique opportunity, and that is to learn to live with other animals in a kind of harmony that has never been possible in the past, but could well be the one and only way we can continue to live on this planet.
		Since we share so much of our genetic heritage with other animals, it is high time we realised how much we share emotional capacities as well, and once that is realised perhaps we can begin to share the earth, which has been given to all animals, human and otherwise, in common.
