<P> If a tree species in a dense forest grows taller than surrounding tree species , it is able to absorb more of the incoming sunlight . However , less sunlight is then available for the trees that are shaded by the taller tree , thus interspecific competition . Leopards and lions can also be in interspecific competition , since both species feed on the same prey , and can be negatively impacted by the presence of the other because they will have less food . </P>
