What is interspecific competition?

Interspecific competition is a type of competition that occurs between different species in an ecosystem. It is a biological interaction in which two or more species compete for the same limited resources, such as food, water, shelter, or mates. This competition can be direct or indirect, and it can have a significant impact on the survival and reproduction of the species involved. Interspecific competition can lead to the displacement of one species by another, or it can result in the coexistence of multiple species with different resource requirements.
