ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Interspecific competition, in ecology, is a form of competition in which individuals of different species compete for the same resources in an ecosystem (e.g. food or living space).

Detailed explanation-2: -Competition. In interspecific competition, members of two different species use the same limited resource and therefore compete for it.

Detailed explanation-3: -Examples: interspecific competition between lions and leopards that vie for similar prey and interspecific competition between rice paddies with weeds growing in the field.

Detailed explanation-4: -As an example of niche partitioning, several anole lizards in the Caribbean islands share common diets-mainly insects. They avoid competition by occupying different physical locations.

Detailed explanation-5: -Intraspecific competition occurs between members of the same species. For example, two male birds of the same species might compete for mates in the same area.
