Detailed explanation-1: -Competition is most typically considered the interaction of individuals that vie for a common resource that is in limited supply, but more generally can be defined as the direct or indirect interaction of organisms that leads to a change in fitness when the organisms share the same resource.
Detailed explanation-2: -Competition occurs when organisms strive for limited resources. Competition can be for food, water, light, or space. This interaction can be between organisms of the same species (intraspecific) or between organisms of different species (interspecific).
Detailed explanation-3: -Competition often takes place via the using up or depleting of resources by members of one species, making those resources unavailable to members of the second species. Resources would include nest sites, food items, water or minerals in the soil. This is called indirect competition.
Detailed explanation-4: -Competition for limiting resources is among the most fundamental ecological interactions and has long been considered a key driver of species coexistence and biodiversity. Species’ minimum resource requirements, their R*s, are key traits that link individual physiological demands to the outcome of competition.
Detailed explanation-5: -Intraspecific competition is an interaction in population ecology, whereby members of the same species compete for limited resources. This leads to a reduction in fitness for both individuals, but the more fit individual survives and is able to reproduce.
