  Note :

  At the risk of offending semantic purists we are including under the heading of territoriality any active mechanism that spaces individuals or groups apart from one another, which means that we can talk about territoriality in plants and microorganisms as well as in animals. In other words, territoriality tends to regulate population at a level below the saturation level. In this sense, then, territoriality is a general ecological phenomenon not restricted to any one taxonomic group such as birds (in which the phenomenon happens to be well studied).
