Abstract

Understanding how closely related species coexist in communities is one of the oldest goals of ecology and evolutionary biology. One long-standing hypothesis is that the evolution of key differences in species’ niches or ecological requirements (a process known as niche differentiation) can minimize competition and promote coexistence.
