Talk:Territory (animal)

i have been doing a bit of research on how animals mark territories and i have seen that for the 'wild' animals most of the time there is no difference on HOW the males and females mark their territories. i am now trying to relate this parctice to humans.

Do humans (male or female) mark territories and how do they do it?

This article says that cats mark their territory by rubbing their faces on boundary objects. This is certainly incomplete/incorrect! As most back-yard-owners know, the primary way a cat marks his territory is by spraying. Tina Kimmel 07:54, 10 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Territory is a matter of law too, used in different manners at different levels - ranging from Native American territories to international territories. Shouldn't there be a disambiguation page or something in that line? Aditya Kabir 10:50, 7 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

I would like to encourage an inclusion of different approaches to that concept, especially that of deleuze and guattari, which seems of importance. 87.79.121.32 19:43, 13 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

The redirect from territoriality to this page is wrong. There is a well-developed literature on the concept and strategy of territoriality in human society that goes far beyond simply peeing on trees. Territoriality as a human geographic concept implicates some pretty complex studies of semiotics and political space and place making. There should be a separate page for human territoriality. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.71.143.154 (talk) 15:40, 9 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

Should this page be moved to territoriality, or should it be a disambiguation for this and territoriality (nonverbal communication)? Alternatively, how about territory (ethology) rather than the more clumsy sounding 'territory (animal)'? Richard001 04:08, 6 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

A paragraph on "Dear enemy recognition" warrants inclusion here, not in a separate "article".

There are dozens of studies addressing the phenomenon -- or absence of -- DER in everything from microbes to humans. It could become a big, beautiful article. Since Wikipedia isn't about to run out of space, it might be nice to leave the article where it is so that someone types "dear enemy recognition" into the search bar, they need not wade through the Territory article to get information of DER. I suggest spending time increasing the DER article's size and documentation instead of arguing about vaping it and burying the info in the territory article. NOTE -- this is an unsigned comment, and there was an incident between another editor and I a while back where this editor tagged and nominated many articles I'd started and worked-on for moves and deletion, a conflict which resulted in that editor getting blocked. I hope this wasn't part of that. TeamZissou (talk) 20:11, 14 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Yeah, I just looked at the history -- it's totally the same guy, 7mike5000. This suggestion is motivated soley by malice. TeamZissou (talk) 20:13, 14 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

has there been any studies on this subject ? what is the normal individual territory size for humans ? what are some of the other normal behaviors ? that kind of thing 67.204.60.52 (talk) 11:23, 11 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hello! As part of a class assignment, I added information about Phrynocephalus vlangalii and a link to that Wikipedia article. Vportugal (talk) 18:45, 7 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

And they quoted a random site called alphawolfsebrina, which is ofc frozen.

Can anyone fix it, or should the section be simply removed 27.79.138.160 (talk) 01:25, 23 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
