Modes of competition
Interference: direct aggressive interaction between individuals

Intraspecific: completion with members of own species

Interspecific: competition between individuals of two species, reduces fitness
Intraspecific:
completion with members of own species

IntrA- comes first witin specises
Interspecific:
competition between individuals of two species, reduces fitness

Iinter- comes second outside species
Niches
Summarizes environmental factors that influence growth, survival, and reproduction of a species
Principle of competitive exclusion
two species with identical niches cannot coexist indefinetly

* one will be a better competitor and thus have higher fitness and eventually exclude the other
compettion vs nitches
competition can restrict species to their realized nitches

* may change fundamental nitch
*may produce evolutionary response in the competitor population
Character Displacemtn
Because degree of competitoin is assumed to depend upon degree of niche overlap, interspcific competition has been predicted to lead to direct directional selection for reduced niche overlap
