<em>Competition is a form of interaction between two or more organisms during which they jostle for the same resources. </em>Organisms have to compete for resources because limited amount of resources exist in the environment. In a way, organisms involved in a competition are all affected negatively.
Competition for resources can be of 2 types;
intra-specific competition: when the competition is between organisms of the same species
inter-specific competition: when the competition is between organisms of different species
<em>In this case, the nectar is considered as the limited resources. Bees and butterflies are organisms of different species, hence, it is a form of inter-specific competition.</em>
The abiotic factors are non-living factors that interfere with the forest ecosystem. Two abiotic factors are the amount of rain and sunlight. The amount of these two abiotics determines how much a tree will grow or how thick and diverse the population of trees in a forest will be.
Can affect an organism by changing its physical characteristics (or phenotype) or it can impact the way DNA codes the genetic information (genotype). they can cause termination (death) of an organism or they can be partially lethal.
