Vedclass · Answer

(B) Competition is defined as a process in which the fitness of one species is significantly lower in the presence of another species. It is a common misconception that only closely related species compete. In reality,totally unrelated species can also compete for the same limiting resource. For example,in some shallow South American lakes,visiting flamingos and resident fishes compete for their common food,the zooplankton. Therefore,the statement that 'Only related species compete with each other' is incorrect.
