Question

TestHub · Accepted Answer

Competition in the broadest sense refers to the interaction of two organisms striving for the same resource. Competition amongst the individuals of same species for one or more common resources is intraspecific competition, and between the organisms of different species is interspecific competition. Surely, intraspecific competition is more acute because all organisms of the same species have similar requirements for food, space, light, water, shelter, etc. When Darwin spoke of the struggle for existence and ‘survival of the fittest in nature’, he was convinced that interspecific competition is a potent force in organic evolution. It is a (-,-) relationship.
