What way leads to competition between two species?

An overlap in their niches


What is is the difference between interspecific competition and intraspecific competition?

Interspecific : Interspecific competition, in ecology, is a form of competition in which individuals of different species vie for the same resource in an ecosystem (e.g. food or living space). The other form of competition is intraspecific competition, which involves organisms of the same species.Intraspecific : Intraspecific competition is a particular form of competition in which members of the same species vie for the same resource in an ecosystem (e.g. food, light, nutrients, space). This can be contrasted with Interspecific competition, in which different species compete.Source(s):Google Definitions


What do you call the interaction between organisms when they share the same resources or habitat?

Competition. This can occur between members of the same species or between two (or more) different species. Competition can also shape a certain species niche in its environment. For example: a certain bird may be able to eat worms and beetles but another eats only worms. If the worm eating species dominates the area then the other may be forced to eat mainly beetles. If the worm and beetle eating bird dominates the area then the worm-only eating species could be pushed from the environment.


Limited resources contribute to evolutionary change in animals by increasing?

Competition between members of the species.


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.

Does competition occur only between members of the same species?

When competition occurs between species, the stronger species remain. This process is called: natural selection.


The struggle between organisms for the limited resources in a habitat?

Competition: intraspecifically (between members of the same species) or interspecifically (between members of different species).


The struggle between two species that allow them to live successfully in their environment are called?

Competition


When multiple organisms of the same species coexist together what kinda results do you get?

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.


What is it called when there is a struggle between organisms in a habitat with limited resources?

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.


Differentiate between interspecific competition and intraspecific competition.?

Interspecific competition is the competition between two or more species of different organisms competing for the same resources. Intraspecific competition is the competition between two or more of the same species fighting for the same resources.


What is The struggle between organisms of the same species for limited resources?

We know that organisms that must struggle to survive in a habitat with limited resources will be in competition to do so.


What are the two types of competition?

The two types of competition are intraspecific competition and interspecific competition. Interspecific takes place between two different species while intraspecific happens between the same species.


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'.


How are the competition between two trees of the same species and the competition between two different species of trees similar?

They use sunlight,water,food and shelter


Is competition between two species reduced when the species have different niches?

True


How might a decrease in competition between species lead to the sudden appearance of new species?

The decrease in competition between species can lead to the sudden appearance of many new species because by the time there is a decrease between species more species are developing and that is causing more species to appear so suddenly.
