Species coexisting by using resources at different times exhibit:

“Resource partitioning” for species coexisting by using resources at different times exhibit. This relationship follows from the ecological mechanism represented by the terms in the item, not merely from an association between their names. Niche differentiation reduces overlap by separating species along resource, space, or time axes. Such partitioning can stabilize coexistence when each species performs relatively better under the conditions it uses most strongly. The remaining alternatives—“Character displacement”, “Sympatry”, “Allopatry”—refer to different states, processes, or scales and t
