Interspecific

Imagine you're at a crowded coffee shop, and there's only one table left, but you and another person are both eyeing it. This situation is similar to interspecific interactions where different species compete for the same resources, like food or habitat. Just as you and the other coffee shop patron are different individuals vying for the same table, different species may compete for the same resources in an ecosystem, leading to interactions that can influence their survival and behavior.
