Similar species commonly use limiting resources in different ways. Such resource partitioning helps to explain how seemingly similar species can coexist in the same ecological community without one ...

Recent theoretical studies predict that body size-related interspecific differences in spatial scale of perception and resource use may contribute to coexistence of species that compete for the same ...

Resource partitioning is the basis of the coexistence of sympatric species and has therefore received much attention in ecological studies. However, how variation in environmental conditions (and ...

Understanding how different species manage to coexist in the same community, especially when competing for similar resources, remains a fascinating puzzle in ecology. Bumblebees, key pollinators in ...

Woodpeckers are a good example of resource partitioning: they share physical similarities but have specialized adaptations to let them coexist in a forest without competing for the same food. This ...
