Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Encounter competition involves nonterritorial interactions between species that result in negative effects on one or both species. This can include interference competition, where one species actively prevents another from accessing a resource, or exploitative competition, where both species use a shared resource and one is more efficient at acquiring it, leaving less for the other. Consumption competition (A) involves one species consuming a resource faster than another, while preemption competition (B) occurs when one species occupies a space or resource before another can. Overgrowth competition (D) occurs when one species physically overgrows another, usually in a territorial context.
