哺乳动物在对同一物种的其他成员既不容忍又占优势的任何情况下都经常做标记。换句话说，当它们可能攻击同一物种的另一个成员时，它们会做标记，如果它们真的攻击了，它们很可能会赢。正如Hediger指出的，这种情况发生在与领土权有关的地方，但它也发生在其他类型的社会制度中。当有理由推断动物有攻击动机时，就会出现频繁而有力的标记。标记和标记对其他个体的影响知之甚少。许多物种会对一种或一组刺激做出反应，标记出不止一种气味来源。
Mammals mark frequently in any situation where they are both intolerant of and dominant to other members of the same species. In other words, they mark when they are likely to attack another member of the same species, and are likely to win if they do attack. Such a situation occurs, as Hediger pointed out, in connection with territoriality but it also occurs in other kinds of social systems. Frequent, vigorous marking occurs at times when there is reason to infer that the animal is motivated to aggression. The effects of marks and marking upon other individuals are poorly understood. Many species mark with more than one source of scent in response to one stimulus or set of stimuli.
