Essay on Desertification (620 Words)

Essay on the Competition between Species in the Environment

Strategy
This occurs whenever species overlap in their utilization of resources so that any increase in the density of one species produces an adverse effect on the others. The observed persistence of many species in nature is really due to environmental heterogeneity; laboratory studies of competition in a uniform environment with a single resource lead to the elimination of all except one species.Competitive interactions have been shown to profoundly influence the distribution patterns of birds (Diamond, 1972).In some cases competition between species is difficult to demonstrate as several mechanisms may operate to decrease competition. Several cases are known where even similar species can have different food or feed at different times or occupy different habitats (Schoener, 1974).
