Aggression may be focused on a specific area, such as a defended territory from which rivals are vigorously excluded. A notable example is shown by mudskippers, intertidal fish that defend small territories where they browse on microscopic plants. The fish build mud walls around the borders of their territories, and at low tide water is retained within the walls (incidentally permitting the human observer to visualize the mosaic of territories in a colony of these fish). Territorial behaviour is also shown by rag worms an fiddler crabss when they defend their burrows, by male dragonflies and sticklebacks defending breeding grounds, by male tree frogs, sage grouse, and Uganda kob defending high-quality sites for courting and mating, and by spiders, reef fish, and hyenas when they defend feeding areas. A common feature of aggression in most species is that fights tend to start with relatively harmless displays or postures.

What is perhaps most remarkable about "aggressive," "agonistic," "fighting," or "contest" behaviors is that the violent examples given above are exceptions rather than the rule. In most cases, contests are settled through the use of non-injurious aggressive behaviors such as displays and trials of strength. ]]> 2018-04-28 22:49:56 UTC https://padlet.com/winniekeilouise/1mahxm8jcunt/wish/256256900 winniekeilouise https://padlet.com/winniekeilouise/1mahxm8jcunt/wish/256257045 I believe that aggression is a beneficial adaptation to most animal species. It allows certain animals to defend prey and territory as well as themselves and offspring. It can also be beneficial to humans for our ability to defend our lives as well. It brings forth the underlying strength within species that maybe they didn't know they had. ]]> 2018-04-28 22:53:26 UTC https://padlet.com/winniekeilouise/1mahxm8jcunt/wish/256257045 winniekeilouise https://padlet.com/winniekeilouise/1mahxm8jcunt/wish/256257122 https://www.nature.com/scitable/knowledge/library/territoriality-and-aggression-13240908
