competition
Mutually negative interaction between two species or two individuals. Here, the partners tend to occupy the same portion of space and/or to use the same resources such as nutrients, water, or light. The result of competition is a mutual reduction of performance of the partners involved and it may lead to the death of the weaker partner, a process called "competitive exclusion".
