Interference competition

Front

Physical interactions over access to resources. Competitors do not immediately consume resources but defend them. Allelopathy

Back

Negative density dependence

Front

A common type of intraspecific competition, where an increase in a population's density causes a decline in the growth rate of the population.

Back

Niche partitioning

Front

The process by which natural selection drives competing species into different patterns of resource use or different niches. Competing species use the environment differently in a way that helps them to coexist

Back

Preemption competition

Front

Individuals of one species prevent occupation or resources of an area by individuals of another species Sessile organisms Passive compeition

Back

Territorial competition

Front

Mobile organisms protect a feeding or breeding territory

Back

Competitive Exclusion Principle

Front

Ecological principle that states that no two species can occupy the same exact niche in the same habitat at the same time

Back

Intraspecific competition

Front

Competition between members of the same species

Back

Character displacement

Front

The tendency for characteristics to be more divergent in sympatric populations of two species than in allopatric populations of the same two species. EX: birds have a similar beak size when they live on different islands, but when they live on the same island, their beak sizes diverge

Back

Realized niche

Front

The portion of the fundamental niche that a species actually exploits. Limited by competition

Back

Allelopathy

Front

The production of chemicals by plants that actively suppress the growth of neighboring plants

Back

competitive exclusion principle assumptions

Front

Same resource requirements Constant environmental conditions

Back

Fundamental niche

Front

The full potential range of the physical, chemical, and biological factors a species can use to survive, grow, and reproduce. It is a multidimensional space defining the conditions under which a species can survive.

Back

Competition

Front

Intra- and Interspecific competition can co-occur

Back

Interspecific competition

Front

Competition between members of different species

Back

Competitive release

Front

Niche of the competitively-inferior species expands in the absence of the competitively-superior species Response to reduced interspecific competition

Back

Consumption competition

Front

Occurs in interspecific competition when one species inhibits another by consuming a shared resource
