Intraspecies competition is the rivalry that happens within a species over a limited amount of resources. Such stiff competition can be quite devastating and lead to serious loss of population density of a particular species. But such competition also ensures that the evolutionary rule of “survival of the fittest” is fulfilled.Only the dominant and fittest …
