Animals of a species kill each other for food, water, shelter, etc. and the deaths keep the population from getting too high.

Whicjlh will reduce comprtition within a species pupulation?

Elimination is one of the ways that will reduce competition within a species population.


What will reduce competition within a species population?

Competition is reduced when food, living space and other resources becomes more available, as each individual does not need to work so hard against others to obtain them.


What example of competition between individuals within population and of competitions?

2 species of paramecium need to compete for their own resources!


What is intra competition?

Did you mean intraspecific competition? If that is the case, it is competition within a species. This is contrary to interspecific competition which is competition between different species. Hope that helps. answ2 The prefix Inter means 'between', the prefix Intra means 'within'.

What is allee principle all about?

The Allee Principle presents the idea that for every population of organisms within the ecosystem there is some intermediate optimal density within its optimal density range at which the population will best flourish. At the higher end of the density range, intraspecific competition (competition within a population/species) becomes heightened and resources become scarce, where as at the lower end of the optimal range we near the critical minimum density for the population at which genetic drift becomes probably due to population loss, thus some middling population density will be the most desirable for the population.hope this helps! :)


Can two different species occupy the same ecological niche indefinitely?

Not indefinitely. The key to occupying the same niche is resource availability. When two different organisms use the same resource in a simliar way, they can coexist without any problem if population density is low. When more individuals are present and occupy the same niche, competition takes over and whichever organism is the most efficient at obtaining the common resource will outcompete others.


How a family can control population?

families can control the population by reducing the rate of reproduction within the family.


What is competition how can this be good for populations?

Competition is different species' struggles to obtain some common necessity, whether it be habitat, prey, etc, within a population. Because environments can only support a certain amount of organisms, these organisms must compete for the resources. This is good for populations because it helps to control reproduction. If an animal is reproducing too fast, for example, another animal may compete with it for food and eventually kill enough to control the overabundance.


Types of competition in a tempaturegrass land?

In a temperate grassland there are several types of competition which may occur between different organisms. These include competition for resources such as light soil nutrients and water; competition for space; and competition for mates. Competition for Resources - Organisms living in a temperate grassland must compete for resources such as light soil nutrients and water. This competition can lead to a decrease in the population of certain species if the resources are not replenished or if the competition is too intense. Competition for Space - Plants and animals in a temperate grassland need space to live and reproduce. As the population of certain organisms increases they may begin to outcompete others for space leading to decreased populations of the outcompeted species. Competition for Mates - Species may also compete with one another for mates. This competition can lead to the evolution of specialized features which give one species an advantage over another in attracting mates.In a temperate grassland competition between organisms is a natural part of the ecosystem and can help to shape the populations of different species.
