When resources like food, water, or space are scarce, organisms must compete to obtain what they need to survive and reproduce. This competition can be within a species (intraspecific) or between different species (interspecific) and reduces the availability of resources for some individuals. Individuals that are better adapted to obtaining limited resources are more likely to survive and pass on their genes. Over time, this process shapes population sizes and species' traits through natural selection.
