The rivalry between two or more organisms for acquiring the same resource is called competition. It is a (-,-) type of population interaction. Competition occurs when resources, such as space, light, and nutrients, are in short supply.
Intraspecific competition is a competition among individuals of the same species. Interspecific competition is a competition among the members of different species. Intraspecific competition is more intense as the members have the same ecological niche, so they are competing for exactly the same resources.
