When do species compete in an ecosystem?
Since food and other resources are limited, the members of a species must compete with each other to survive. Competition does not always involve direct physical fights between members of a species. Instead, competition is usually indirect.
Why does competiton between individuals of the same species tend to be greater than competition between individuals of different species?
My take is that a species has slightly different needs for survival, such as the food sources and climate. Individuals from the same species will have the same needs and have to share the same limited resources too, while individuals from another species will not be as interested in the same items. Scarcity of what one needs to survive creates a competitive environment with others who have the same interest.
What explains how a new species will originate once a group of individuals can no longer interbreed with other individuals?
reproductive isolation.Reproductive isolation
What is an ecological population?
It is the collection of individuals of a species arbatarily, interacting and communicating with each other in a particular ecosystem of the biosphere.
How does territoriality limit intraspecific competition?
Territoriality limits intraspecific competition because the individuals of a species claim their territories, so that the other individuals of a species know that they have claimed it. When they know this, they can no longer try to steal the territory.
What is it called when members of each species compete regularly for food and other necessary resources?
scientific for evolution

The key element in the biological concept of species is that individuals within a species can what?
Can mate with other individuals of their species and have viable progeny.
How can a new species with no predator affect other populations of species?
Their population could grow much faster, and they could compete with other species for food.
Do raptors compete for habitat and other resources?
Of course they do. The compete with other raptors, generally of the same species, for those habitats and resources. Not to mention all other ground based predators interested in the same prey species.
What species do humans compete with for food space and habitat?
I think the simple answer is that we effectively compete with all other species on the planet (expect perhaps some deep ocean life forms).
What animals do sharks compete with for food or space?
Probably other sharks of the same and different species. They will either compete for mates or fish.

When does Predation occurs with in individuals?
Predation occurs when individuals in one species-population each kill multiple individuals in one or more other species-populations to use them as a resource.
What is it called when there is a struggle between organisms in a habitat with limited resources?
Competition.If the competition occurs between individuals of the same species it is called intraspecific competition.If the competition is between individuals of different species it is called interspecific competition.
What means that members of each species compete regularly for food and other necessary resources?
Struggle for existence
What explains how a new species will originate once a group of individuals can no longer interbreed with other individuals?
reproductive isolation.Reproductive isolation
