2. Feeding at the same time
3. Choosing different foraging patterns
4. Increasing time spent on attacking each other

In spite of interspecific competition in nature, which mechanism the competing species might have evolved for their survival?

1. Predation
2. Resource partitioning
3. Competitive release
4. Mutualism

Amensalism can be represented as :
