Resources: University of Phoenix Materials: Intraspecific Competition, and Interspecific Competition
Create a 12- to 15-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation that includes the following:
Explain and provide an overview of intraspecific competition and of interspecific competition.
How do intraspecific competition and interspecific competition affect populations?
How do intraspecific competition and interspecific competition drive natural selection and evolution?
Review the intraspecific competition data in the University of Phoenix Material: Intraspecific Competition.
How is the predator community affected by low numbers of prey?
How do high numbers of predators affect the prey community?
When is intraspecific competition most intense in the predator population?
When is intraspecific competition most intense in the prey population?
What are some possible effects on other species?
Review the interspecific competition data in the University of Phoenix Material: Interspecific Competition.
What behavioral data might be inferred from this graph?
What factors might be responsible for the success of the older mothers’ offspring?
Propose a scenario that might explain the data recorded. How might interspecific competition affect the reproductive success of the cats of various maternal ages?
Include data in the graphs to support your answers.
