Question

Describe the influence of interspecific and intraspecific competition on changes in population size?

Interspecific competition is the competition between individuals of two different species.

This happens when the species have overlap niche like food or resources. This competition decreases the fitness of both the species because they interfer with other individuals to meet carrying capacity and thus both will be affected.

Intraspecific competition is competition between individuals of the same species.

This happens because in this case there is limited resources like food habitat sexual selection ect. In this case also both the kndu5 becomes affected.

Intraspecific. Competition is much more effective than interspecific competition because in this case the competition is harder NAD long lasting .

In this case also one survive and one die who loose.
