Intraspecific Competition

The interaction between members of the same species that vie for the same resource in an ecosystem (e.g., food or living space).

Moose Population

Refers to the number and distribution of moose within a particular geographical area, important for understanding ecosystem dynamics and conservation efforts.

R-selected Organisms

Species that prioritize high reproduction rates, usually in environments where resources are abundant, leading to a strategy that favors producing a high number of offspring with less parental care.
