advantageous to the territory holder in terms of ability to acquire

resources.

for example prey.

Once territorial limits are well-defined by aggressive encounters

with neighbors, intrusions and territorial challenges become rare.

Ritual combat, in which size, color, location, song, posture, or

other "advertising" features are employed, dispenses with

aggressive encounters entirely and is advantageous to both the

territory holder and intruder.

Territoriality ensures access to mates and/or resources during

reproductive periods.

Territories vary greatly in size between species.

What biotic features affect weasels (animal)?

Biotic features that affect weasels include their prey availability, which primarily consists of small mammals like rodents and rabbits. Competition with other predators for food resources can also influence their hunting success and population dynamics. Additionally, the presence of potential predators and human activities, such as habitat destruction or hunting, can impact weasel populations. Social interactions, including mating behaviors and territoriality, further shape their ecological niche.


What is ecological species concept?

The ecological species concept defines a species based on its ecological niche, focusing on how a group of organisms interacts with their environment, including their resources, habitat, and interactions with other species. This concept emphasizes the role of natural selection in shaping species' adaptations to specific ecological roles. Unlike other species concepts that may rely on morphological or genetic criteria, the ecological species concept underscores the importance of ecological dynamics in defining what constitutes a species.
