Excerpt from Louisiana Conservationist, Vol. 60: Winter 2007Territoriality in species is commonly exhibited as a means of protecting a critical resource, whether it is a plentiful food sup ply, shelter from predation or a partner for mating purposes. Many animals exhibit aggressive territorial behavior to ensure that those resources remain readily avail able. For example, white-tailed deer fight for does during the rut, and many species of birds will attack each other (and other species) over food.In the case of the bullfrog, territoriality is most commonly exhibited in the defense of a home range. This home range is used pri marily in the act of attracting and securing a mate during breeding season.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
