SummaryIn this paper the tesselation of territories is discussed. When a mass of animals with teritoriality is introduced at random simultaneously into a finite two-dimensional (2D) region, territories are gradually formed and finally settle to a steady state. A model calculation for this process is carried out, where a Voronoi polygon is assumed as a territory. Comparisons are made between the model calculation and Barlow's observation on an artificial population of mouthbreeder fish. Differences between 1D and 2D case are also discussed.
