Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017 According with niche theory the species are specialized in different ecological niches, being able to coexist as result of a differential use of resources.

The role of cultural traditions in ecological niche partitioning in cetaceans
Журнал общей биологии, 2023 Ecological niche partitioning is a process that allows organisms to achieve differences in resource use to reduce competition. Niche partitioning is traditionally viewed as a result of modification of genetically inherited traits through the process of adaptive evolution.

Niche Partitioning among Mesocarnivores in a Brazilian Wetland
PLOS ONE, 2016 We investigated the home range size, habitat selection, as well as the spatial and activity overlap, of four mid-sized carnivore species in the Central Pantanal, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. From December 2005 to September 2008, seven crab-eating foxes Cerdocyon thous, seven brown-nosed coatis Nasua nasua, and six ocelots Leopardus pardalis were radio ...

FACETS, 2023 Animal populations take advantage of environmental heterogeneity to partition themselves into microhabitat niches. Such partitioning plays an important role in regulating interspecific competition and community structure by allowing multiple species to ...

Spatio-temporal ecology of sympatric felids on Borneo. Evidence for resource partitioning? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Niche differentiation, the partitioning of resources along one or more axes of a species' niche hyper-volume, is widely recognised as an important mechanism for sympatric species to reduce interspecific competition and predation risk, and thus facilitate

Niche Partitioning Increases Resource Exploitation by Diverse Communities [PDF]
Science, 2008 Classical ecological theory suggests that the coexistence of consumer species is fostered by resource-use differences, leading to greater resource use in communities with more species. However, explicit empirical support for this idea is lacking, because resource use by species is generally confounded with other species-specific attributes. We overcame

Exometabolite niche partitioning among sympatric soil bacteria [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2015 AbstractSoils are arguably the most microbially diverse ecosystems. Physicochemical properties have been associated with the maintenance of this diversity. Yet, the role of microbial substrate specialization is largely unexplored since substrate utilization studies have focused on simple substrates, not the complex mixtures representative of the soil ...
