Intraspecific competition 

Same species compete. (Within species.)


This is competition within the same species.

Intraspecific competition is the conflict between the same species

NOTE:

Another way to help you remember what intraspecific competition is:

Intraspecific competition is the conflict between the same species

Intraspecific contains the letter a in the middle of it, as does ‘same’.

So intraspecific competition is the same species in competition.

Examples

Deer can fight because of females and territory

Intraspecific competition occurs between stags for the right to mate with the female deer.

 

Bears fight over food

Grizzly bears engage in intraspecific competition for the right to occupy the best fishing spots during the salmon season.
