The environment somehow must be limiting.
Ecological is a adjective, not a verb
when does a competition happen
competition and predation
For competition to occur, the environment somehow must be limiting (i.e., there must be something to compete for)
Competition coefficients measure the effect of one species on another competing species.
Competition also can be modeled by examining resources rather than population growth equations.
Predation,parasitism,mutualism,commensalism, and competition.
Competing species that share similar ecological niches and resources. By partitioning resources, such as food, space, or time, these species can coexist by reducing direct competition and allowing each species to specialize in utilizing different resources. This can help to minimize competition and promote species diversity within a community.
ecological exclusion
weeds would be one example.
it is spatial or temporal characteristics of organisms that have changed because of competition.
The three main types of species interactions that occur in a community are predation, competition, and symbiosis. Predation involves one organism feeding on another, competition occurs when species vie for the same resources, and symbiosis refers to close interactions between species, which can be mutualistic, commensal, or parasitic. Together, these interactions shape the structure and dynamics of ecological communities.
