Abstract
All biotic interactions are potentially regulatory; the section at the end of the last chapter attempted to show which did so most commonly.

Intraspecific effects are more commonly considered important in relation to populations while interspecific competition is most implicated in community events. However, here we will discuss the population effects of both.
