Competition can occur between individuals of the same species, called intraspecific competition, or between different species, called interspecific competition. Studies show that intraspecific competition can regulate population dynamics (changes in population size over time). This occurs because individuals become crowded as a population grows.

Intraspecific competition (competition among member of the same species living in the same area) would increase as population size increases. An exception would be social or colonial populations that share resources (bees, ants, primates, colonial plants [plants that send multiple stems up from one root mass], etc.). Interspecific competition (competition between two different species) between species with similar resource requirements would also increase.
If the amount of available nesting space is limited, some woodpeckers will not be able to raise young. My Science teacher told me the answer.
The following statement best describes the relationship between competition and a free market system: Competition increases within a free market system.
"Intra" suggests competition between teams or individuals within the same school, company, or other organization.
Competition.If the competition occurs between individuals of the same species it is called intraspecific competition.If the competition is between individuals of different species it is called interspecific competition.
Interspecific competition is competition that occurs between two different species. Another kind of competition is interference competition. This is when two or more individuals compete using aggression.

Population dependent factors become more limiting as the population increases. (eg. amount of resources, intraspecific competition, predation, disease, physiological stress) Population independent factors lower the population size without regards to it. (eg. natural disasters, unnatural weather, acts of fate (volcano, flood, fire, earthquake, hurricane, etc.))
CompetitionCompetition among members of the same species is known as intraspecific competition, while competition between individuals of different species is known as interspecific competition.
