Niche overlap refers to the situation where two or more species or organisms utilize the same resource at the same time or in the same place, resulting in competition. It can occur between members of the same species (intraspecific competition) or different species (interspecific competition). Competitive release refers to the situation where a species experiences a decrease in competition or predation pressure, resulting in an expansion of its range, population size or resource use. Intraspecific competition occurs between members of the same species, and territoriality refers to the behavior of defending a specific area or territory.
