You know how I always say that biology is ultimately about sex and not dying? Well both of those things are more difficult than we'd like them to be, because of competition. There's a finite amount of resources on this planet, so evolution drives us to compete for them so that we can survive long enough to spread our genes all over the place And naturally, competition is a really important part of how different species interact when their habitats overlap. These interactions between species are what define ecological communities. So it makes sense that community ecology...
