| Interaction Between Members of a Species |
 |
| In nature there is always a kind of interdependence between different kinds of living organisms among themselves and also between biotic and abiotic components of ecosystem. |
| |
| Competition occurs among individuals of the same species for space, nutrients, reproduction, and so on, if these are in short supply. This is termed as intraspecific competitions. |
| |
| The interactions between the members of same species can be divided into two categories: |
| |
