As a PhD I was warned off an area because a senior researcher 'had plans' - that didn't actually eventuate for 10+ years. It was a wasted opportunity for collaboration.
Others I knew were so boxed in by 'long toes' they were effectively ejected from academia.
Everyone loses with this behaviour.

New study in #Nature reveals the 'Gollum effect': nearly half of surveyed scientists report territorial behaviors—data hoarding, gatekeeping—mostly during #PhD. Early-career researchers bear the brunt; 1 in 5 left academia as a result.
