Foraging conflict

Foraging conflict occurs when different animals, or groups within a species, compete for limited resources like food or water. This competition can lead to aggressive behaviors or displacement, as each tries to secure enough to survive. Such conflicts are common in ecosystems where resource availability fluctuates or is scarce, influencing animal movement, social interactions, and survival strategies. Understanding foraging conflict helps in managing wildlife and conserving habitats by addressing the causes of competition and promoting balanced ecosystems.
