DOI: 10.1002/ajpa.24028
Abstract: OBJECTIVES Ecological similarity between species can lead to interspecific trophic competition. However, when ecologically similar species coexist, they may differ in foraging strategies and habitat use, which can lead to niche partitioning. As the body… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.5036
Abstract: Abstract Niche overlap between native species and ecologically similar invaders can lead to competitive exclusion of threatened native species, but if two such species also co‐occur naturally elsewhere, interactions between native and introduced populations may… read more here.

Small differences in root distributions allow resource niche partitioning

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.6612
Abstract: Abstract Deep roots have long been thought to allow trees to coexist with shallow‐rooted grasses. However, data demonstrating how root distributions affect water uptake and niche partitioning are uncommon. We describe tree and grass root… read more here.

Color vision and niche partitioning in a diverse neotropical primate community in lowland Amazonian Ecuador
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.7479
Abstract: Abstract A recent focus in community ecology has been on how within‐species variability shapes interspecific niche partitioning. Primate color vision offers a rich system in which to explore this issue. Most neotropical primates exhibit intraspecific… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8742
Abstract: Abstract Documenting trophic niche partitioning and resource use within a community is critical to evaluate underlying mechanisms of coexistence, competition, or predation. Detailed knowledge about foraging is essential as it may influence the vital rates,… read more here.

Historical niche partitioning and long‐term trophic shifts in Laurentian Great Lakes deepwater coregonines
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Ecosphere"
DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.2080
Abstract: Over the last 100 yr, anthropogenic stressors have decimated the assemblage of deepwater coregonines that once underpinned the food webs of the Laurentian Great Lakes. As a part of ongoing restoration efforts, fisheries managers are… read more here.

Behavioral niche partitioning reexamined: Do behavioral differences predict dietary differences in warblers?

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3077
Abstract: Behavioral niche partitioning is an important and widely assumed mechanism for the coexistence of ecologically similar species. Here we assessed this mechanism by testing its core assumption, that evolved differences in foraging behavior correspond with… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.anbehav.2020.10.001
Abstract: Niche partitioning among different age, breeding status or sex classes allows resource use to be maximized while reducing intraspecific competition. Individual specialization marks the finest scale of niche partitioning where, within a species, individuals differ… read more here.
