Question on: SS3 Biology - Adaptation and Evolution

Competition in nature refers to the rivalry among organisms for limited resources such as food, territory, and mates. This competition drives natural selection, favouring individuals with advantageous traits and leading to the survival of the fittest. Examples include the competition between predator and prey, interspecific competition among different species sharing the same ecological niche, and intraspecific competition within a single species. These competitive interactions play a significant role in determining species distribution, abundance, and overall biodiversity in ecosystems.
