Biology definition: Interspecific competition is a form of competition between different species inhabiting the same ecological area. In biology, competition means rivalry for a limited resource, such as food, mate, shelter, etc.
What is an example of competition in biology?A common competition in biology example is the vocal and territorial male Northern cardinal that chases away other male cardinals interloping on its breeding grounds. Interspecific competition occurs between members of different species that desire the same things, such as food, shelter and water.
What are the three types of interspecies interactions?Interspecies interactions can be broken into three main categories: competition, predation, and symbiosis. Let's take a closer look at each. In interspecific competition, members of two different species use the same limited resource and therefore compete for it.
How do species compete?Species compete when they have overlapping niches, that is, overlapping ecological roles and requirements for survival and reproduction. Competition can be minimized if two species with overlapping niches evolve by natural selection to utilize less similar resources, resulting in resource partitioning.
