Question:
In spite of interspecific competition in nature, which mechanism the competing species might have evolved for their survival?
In spite of interspecific competition in nature, which mechanism the competing species might have evolved for their survival?
Updated On: Aug 3, 2024
- Resource partitioning
- Competitive release
- Mutualism
- Predation
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Species facing competition might evolve mechanisms that promote co-existence rather than exclusion. One such mechanism is 'resource partitioning'. MacArthur showed that five closely related species of warblers living on the same tree were able to avoid competition and co-exist due to behavioural differences in their foraging activities.

Population Interactions
Population interaction is generally between two different species populations.“Population interaction is the interaction between different populations. It refers to the effects that the organisms in a community have on one another.”
An ecosystem is a geographic area wherein plants, animals, and many other organisms, alongwith weather and landscape, work together to form a bubble of life.
Types of Population Interactions:
Interactions can be beneficial or neutral or detrimental. Accordingly, there are six types of population interaction.
The different ways populations interact with each other can be summarized under the following headings.
- Competition
- Predation
- Herbivory
- Mutualism
- Commensalism
- Parasitism
- Competition
