When two closely related species that occupy the same habitat, compete seemingly for resources mainly because the resources are limited. Competition is a density- independent factor. The two species occupy the same habitat because they share they depend on the same abiotic and biotic factors. When two or more species compete for the same limited resource it is called interspecific competition. The limiting resource can be food, nutrients, space, mates, or anything for which demand is greater than supply. When one species is a better competitor, interspecific competition harmfully influences the other species by reducing population size. There are many ways species can compete for the resources. Competitive interactions between organisms can have a great deal of influence on species evolution, the structuring of, and the distributions of species

There are many ways species can settle competition disputes among each other. Agonistic behavior is a way species settle...
