Yes, competition can be a cause of extinction, particularly when species compete for limited resources such as food, habitat, or mates. When one species outcompetes another, it can lead to the decline or disappearance of the less competitive species. This is often exacerbated by environmental changes and human activities that further alter ecosystems, intensifying competitive pressures. Ultimately, the survival of species depends on their ability to adapt to competition and changing conditions.

How creating new competition for food causes the extinction?

Creating new competition for food can lead to extinction by disrupting established ecosystems and food webs. When a new species is introduced, it may outcompete native species for resources, leading to a decline in their populations. This can cause a cascading effect, as the loss of one species can impact others that rely on it for food or ecological balance. Over time, this competition can result in the extinction of native species unable to adapt to the new pressures.
