Summary Introduction

To review:

The reason behind scientific literature on interspecific competition being potentially “biased.”

Introduction:

The populations of either same or different species compete with each other for the common limited resources that are available. It can either be an interspecific competition or an intraspecific competition. Interspecific competition, predation, and parasitism are key forces that govern the species composition and community structure.
