Detailed explanation-1: -Squirrels and chipmunks compete for the same food source. What is MOST LIKELY to happen to the degree of competition between the tow species if their food becomes scarce? The number of species is likely to increase.
Detailed explanation-2: -Instead of extinction, interspecific competition may lead to greater specialization. Specialization occurs when competing species evolve different adaptations. For example, they may evolve adaptations that allow them to use different food sources.
Detailed explanation-3: -Interspecific competition is a type of competition in which individuals belonging to different species struggle for the same resources in an ecosystem. Intraspecific competition takes place in a community and not in a population. In this, animals compete for food, water and space.
Detailed explanation-4: -WHAT IS COMPETITION IN ECOSYSTEMS?. In ecosystems, organisms compete for the resources they need to survive, grow, and reproduce. Animals compete for air, food, shelter, water, and space. Plants also compete with each other for the resources they need, including air, water, sunlight, and space.
