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.
