Coexistence

Question 0

Interspecific competition:

Answer 0

Competition between individuals of different species.

Question 1

Can occur through reduced competition between individuals by

Answer 1

The partitioning of resources, such as space and time.

Question 2

Temporal partitioning / specialisation:

Answer 2

Some groups are active by day, others by night. This avoids competition.

Eg - day flying butterflies and night flying moths.

Question 3

Spatial partitioning / specialisation:

Answer 3

Different levels of vertical zones, such as 
above the canopy, 
in the canopy, 
15-25m zone, 
the understory, 
forest floor. 

Also demonstrated by the different niches of rainforest mammals.

Question 4

Food partitioning / specialisation:

Food resource is shared between communities, reducing interspecific competition.

Eg - Different hummingbirds are adapted to feed on different flowers of shapes and sizes as they have different beak shapes and sizes.
