Why is territoriality an adaptive behavior for songbirds maintaining populations at or near their carrying capacity?

#SCPH06 I Botany
  1. Songbirds expend a tremendous amount of energy defending territories so that they spend less time feeding their young and fledgling mortality increases.
  2. Only the fittest males defend territories and they attract the fittest females so the best genes are conveyed to the next generation.
  3. Songbird males defend territories commensurate with the size from which they can derive adequate resources for themselves, their mate, and their chicks.

  4. Many individuals are killed in the ritualistic conflicts that go along with territorial defense.

Letʹs say that a hypothetical submersible robot was used to collect samples of sedimentary rock from the sea floor along the section illustrated. The robot moved back and forth along the transect, collecting first from site A, then site III, then site B, then site II, and lastly site D. Assuming that sedimentation has occurred at a constant rate along the transect over the past million years, rearrange the sites mentioned above on the basis of the thickness of the sediments overlying the igneous rock, from thickest to thinnest.
