Summary Introduction
To explain:
The aggressive behavior of a bird towards a member of its own species, however, it ignores a squirrel in its territory.
Introduction:
There is a scarcity of mates, space, and food relative to reproductive potential. This scarcity leads to competition among the members of same species. This competition is for the survival and reproduction of the members and there are various types of competitive interaction between members of species.
