Identify examples of Interspecific or Intraspecific Competition a. - When Starlings were introduced into North America in 1800s, the spread rapidly across the country Because they use the same locat for building their nests and because they are more aggressive . Bluebird populations began to deeline b. - Herford cattle stampede towards the hay bale being unro in the farmer's field. c. - Europeans were responsible for adversely affecting the Indigenous People when they immigrated to North America. d. - Sage Grouse males dancing to attract females. c. - Female Wood ticks regularly climb into people to obtain a blood meal, so they can lay eggs in the soil. If - Cougars and wolves both prey on Elk.

Answer 1

a. **Interspecific Competition:** Starlings competing with Bluebirds for nesting locations demonstrates interspecific competition (competition *between* different species).b. **Intraspecific Competition:** Hereford cattle competing amongst themselves for access to the hay bale is an example of intraspecific competition (competition *within* the same species).c. **Interspecific Competition:** European settlers competing with Indigenous Peoples for resources and land represents interspecific competition. While complex historical and social factors were at play, the core interaction involved competition between different groups for resources.d. **Intraspecific Competition:** Male Sage Grouse competing for the attention of females is intraspecific competition. They are members of the same species vying for mating opportunities.e. **Parasitism:** Wood ticks feeding on humans is a parasitic relationship, not competition. The tick benefits while the human is harmed. While multiple ticks might compete for a host, the interaction described is primarily parasitism.f. **Interspecific Competition:** Cougars and wolves both preying on elk demonstrates interspecific competition. They are different species competing for the same food source.
