What is Intraspecific competition?
[[File:Fighting Hartebeest.jpg|thumb|[[Antelope|Antelopes]], fighting for territory ]] In [[ecology]], '''intraspecific competition''' is when two [[Individual|individuals]] of the same [[species]] compete for limited resources. Usually, the one winning the competition has a better [[fitness]], and may better be able to [[Reproduction|reproduce]]. Examples for resources are [[food]], [[water]], space, [[light]], or [[Mate|mates]]. This is different from [[interspecific competition]] vwhere members of different species compete. Intraspecific competition is important, because through [[evolution]], species can become better [[Adaptation|adapted]] to where they live. {{Biology-stub}} [[Category:Biological competition]]
