Gary Luhm/Danita Delmont Stock Photography If the species ended up in each location by chance and are using up space without direct interactions, this would be an example of competition. If the species are actively competing with one another over who gets to live in which location (uplifting/crushing), this would be an example of competition. Act Go toarrow_forward
