Question

What results when there is very heavy competition between two species??

Answer 1

the answer is An overlap in the two species niches (Apex)

Answer 2

When there is heavy competition between two species these results may surface. First, even if there is just a little advantage of one species, the tendency is the best competitors will dominate the other. This may lead to the extinction of the weaker species. Another result is, competition may cause the traits of the competing species to evolve. This result is called character displacement. This is what happens when for instance the species live in the same area and have the same and common niche; the characteristics of the species evolve in order for them to minimize niche overlap. This is also for them not to have competitive exclusion. To add to that, when there is heavy competition, the finite resources will not be enough for all competitors who have all access to the resources. This may lead to very low survival rates.
