Water, Food, and Mates are examples of limiting resources that drive competition. With all of these in place, each species drive to thrive in their environment but they are limited; This creates competition within the species.

Answer:

The 3 limiting factors that might drive competition within a single species is the food, availability of mates, disease, and shelter (biotic factors) and temperature, climate, sunlight, rainfall, natural disasters, and pollution (abiotic factors).

Step-by-step explanation:

These factors limit the size of populations. As a population grows, there is more and more competition for the limited resources that Earth provides.

Biotic factors are living things that affect the ecosystem (like when we manually burn/chop down trees and destroy habitats of animals who used to live there).

Abiotic factors are non-living things (natural causes) that affect the ecosystem (like climate change causing the melting of glaciers and mass burning of trees (aka forest fire))

I hope I got it right!! :D

Also if this was for your homework or something, i hope this helps you! :D
