The struggle that occurs between organisms for food and water and energy when resources are limited is called competition. Competition can kill animals.
All organisms must obtain and use energy to stay alive.
competition among members of an ecosystem for resources and elimination of one or more species from an ecosystem
Competition between members of the species.
Overproduction of offspring means overproduction of variants that can not all live on the resources in their immediate environment. Thus those organisms who can survive to be reproductively successful in a limited resource environment are naturally selected for and pass these traits on to their offspring.
Ultimately, the "competition" that takes place between biologiscal replicating agents is one of differential reproductive success: those variants that have the most offspring will see more of their genes represented in subsequent generations than those who reproduce less. Some variants may be unable to reproduce (much) because they perish before they are able to, but others simply cannot gather enough food to raise many young, so death is not necessarily a part of differential reproductive success - although it often enough is.
We know that organisms that must struggle to survive in a habitat with limited resources will be in competition to do so.
Just competition.
The struggle between orginisms for limited resource is called competiton
Competition: intraspecifically (between members of the same species) or interspecifically (between members of different species).
Survival of the fitest

Competition. The struggle of the fittest. The survival of the fittest.
Living beings need a certain amount of resources to live. If resources are limited then organisms must struggle against others to get enough resources to keep living.
Competition: intraspecifically (between members of the same species) or interspecifically (between members of different species).
The selection of the organism that survives best in a habitat with limited resources and that organisms superior reproductive success is called natural selection.
Competition occurs when organisms existing at the same time and in the same place struggle for the same limited resources. This is one of the three major types of interactions among organisms, the other two being predation and symbiosis.
