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)

[edit] Disambiguation?

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)

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)

[edit] Move

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)
