Compete for resources until one species outcompetes the other or until they partition the resources to reduce competition.
Competition is when Organisms of the same or different species compete for resources, it negatively affects both organisms. Predation is the relationship between two species as the predator feeds on the prey while the prey adapts.
The principle of competitive exclusion states that when two organisms compete for the same limited resources, one species will outcompete and displace the other, leading to the local extinction of the less competitive species. This principle highlights the importance of resource availability and niche differentiation in ecological communities. Ultimately, it suggests that no two species can occupy the same niche indefinitely when competing for identical resources.
Likely competition. An organism's niche is the specific environment in which they live and procreate the best (which includes climate, food sources, places to live and escape from predators, etc.). An overlap of two different species niches means that the resources these organisms depend on are now in shorter supply. This means they must compete with the other organisms for survival

When two organisms attempt to occupy the same niche, they often compete for resources such as food, water, shelter, and mates. This competition can lead to one organism outcompeting the other, the partitioning of resources to reduce competition, or the evolution of differences that allow for coexistence. In some cases, one species may ultimately outcompete and displace the other.
One species may be eliminated from that ecosystem.
Organisms can interact with biotic factors through predation, competition for resources, and mutualistic relationships. Predation involves one organism feeding on another, competition occurs when organisms compete for limited resources like food or habitat, and mutualistic relationships involve two or more species benefitting from each other's presence.
Natural selection influences competition between two organisms by favoring traits that enhance survival and reproductive success in a given environment. When two species compete for the same resources, individuals with advantageous adaptations are more likely to thrive and reproduce, passing those traits to future generations. This process can lead to resource partitioning, where species evolve to exploit different resources, or competitive exclusion, where one species outcompetes the other, ultimately affecting population dynamics and ecosystem balance.
When two or more organisms compete for the same limited resources, such as food, water, or shelter, they may face increased competition and potential conflict. This competition can lead to decreased survival or reproductive success for one or more of the organisms involved, ultimately affecting population dynamics and ecosystem balance. Over time, natural selection may favor individuals or species that are better adapted to obtaining and utilizing these limited resources.
