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

#SCPH28 | Zoology

Songbirds expend a tremendous amount of energy defending territories so that they spend less time feeding their young and fledgling mortality increases.
Only the fittest males defend territories and they attract the fittest females so the best genes are conveyed to the next generation.
Songbird males defend territories commensurate with the size from which they can derive adequate resources for themselves, their mate, and their chicks.
Many individuals are killed in the ritualistic conflicts that go along with territorial defense.

Precision will be reduced, but yield will be increased

Optimisation of a PCR reaction is often a compromise between the competing demands for precision, efficiency and yield. Although the specific effects may vary, generally, increasing the annealing temperature will increase non-specific primer binding and reduce precision. Increasing the length of the elongation phase will reduce the proportion of incomplete newly-synthesised strands and therefore increase yield. In this case, the potential effect on efficiency is unclear. Increasing the elongation phase would increase the reaction time, but the time taken to ramp down to a lower annealing temperature would be reduced.
