Q
How does competition influence population dynamics?
A
Over time, a population size will increase until the halfway point of its carrying capacity. Due to INTRAspecific competition, growth will slow down until resources are scarce.
9
Q
Define intraspecific competition
A
Compeition within species
10
Q
Define interspecific competition
A
Competition between species
11
Q
Define interference competition
A
Direct aggressive interaction between species for the same resources - mostly animals
12
Q
Define exploitative competition
A
Indirect interaction between species - mostly plants
