Which of the following is the overall goal of all territorial behavior?

Question

to impress mates in order to reproduce
to gain resources to increase success
to maintain access to a particular type of environment
to defend food sources for personal use

Answer 1

The overall goal of all territorial behavior is to defend resources to increase success. This includes defending territories to secure access to mates for reproduction, gaining resources (such as food, shelter, or nesting sites) to increase the chances of survival and reproductive success, and maintaining access to a particular type of environment that meets their specific needs. Territorial behavior ensures the individual's own survival and improves their chances of passing on their genes to the next generation.
