"feeding competition" is a correct and usable phrase in written English.
It is typically used to refer to competition between animals for food resources. For example, you could say, "In the African savanna, there is a fierce feeding competition between zebras, wildebeests, and other grazing animals."
Competitive costs of feeding competition were negligible within and between social units of L. leucopus, presumably due to low dietary selectivity and reliance on the most common food species.
The results of the current cross-taxa analysis strongly suggest that general dietary categories do not provide a reliable indicator of the type or intensity of feeding competition or a predictor of competitive regimes.
In a uniform grouping, dominance between various species is apparent in feeding competition, suggesting a definite nipping order.
However, the social influence on feeding was offset by avoidance of feeding competition, which acted to reduce behavioural synchrony.
Buttarelli's belief is that EU privacy regulators will be co-opted into that wider antitrust fight by "supporting and feeding" competition investigations in the future.
Many migratory species use this differential wintering strategy, since it reduces feeding competition between the sexes and enables territorial males to reach the breeding grounds as early as possible, improving their chances of successful mating.
Other studies in diverse systems have documented decreased feeding competition as a result of individual foraging differences [e.g.], [ 24] [26].
Monogamy in mammals is associated with female use of exclusive territories [10], primarily as a strategy to minimize feeding competition when predation and other factors do not favor group-living [11] [13].
Aedes pupae do not feed; competition for resources is predominantly in the larval phase.
RJF of stressed parents were significantly heavier than those of control parents at hatch, but WL offspring of stressed parents were significantly heavier than those of control parents at 8 days, and were also more competitive in a pairwise feed competition test at 27 days of age (Table 1).
Within the feeding flocks competition is reduced by microniche partitioning; where dot-winged antwrens, checker-throated antwrens and white-flanked antwrens feed in flocks together, the dot-wings feed in the densest vines, the white-flank in less dense vegetation, and the checker-throats in the same density as the latter but in dead foliage only.
