Chapter 53, Problem 14TYU
Summary Introduction

To explain:  The population size of species that compete by interference competition is near the carrying capacity whereas the population size of species that competes by exploitation competition is often greater than or below the carrying capacity.

Introduction: The interference competition can be defined as the type of competition that occurs in organisms that result in one organism preventing the other from using resources that are present in limited amounts. Exploitation competition occurs where equal distribution of the limited resources takes place among all the organisms.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Do you think all species have the same carrying capacity or different carrying capacities? ( can you site any sources used)
Explain how the following statement relates to carrying capacity: Demand can only be satisfied by consuming the resource base itself. We call this overcutting, overfishing, overgrazing, overpumping, and overplowing
If one species can access a resource faster or better than another species, which type of competition is occurring?         intraspecies         interference         exploration         exploitation
