| Description: Resource partitioning = species divide shared resources by specializing in different ways Ex: one species is active at night, another in the daytime Ex: one species eats small seeds, another eats large seeds Resource partitioning can lead to character displacement = competing species evolve physical characteristics that reflect their reliance on the portion of the resource they use Ex: birds that eat larger seeds evolve larger bills Ex: birds that eat smaller seeds evolve smaller bills Competition is reduced when two species become more different Picture Stats: Views: 280 Filesize: 114.74kB Height: 695 Width: 621 Source: https://biology-forums.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=35664 |
