Answer 1

* **a. Interspecific Competition:** Starlings and Bluebirds competing for nesting locations. This is competition *between* two different species.* **b. Intraspecific Competition:** Hereford cattle competing for the hay. This is competition *within* the same species.* **c. Interspecific Competition:** Europeans and Indigenous People competing for resources and land. While complex, this represents competition between two different groups of humans.* **d. Intraspecific Competition:** Sage Grouse males competing for the attention of females. This is competition *within* the same species.* **e. Interspecific Competition (Parasitism):** Wood ticks and humans. This is a specific type of interspecific competition where one species (tick) benefits at the expense of the other (human). While not classic competition for resources, it's still an interaction detrimental to one species and beneficial to the other.* **f. Interspecific Competition:** Cougars and wolves competing for the same prey (Elk). This is competition *between* two different species.
