Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Resource partitioning refers to the division of resources (such as food or living space) among different species so that they can coexist. This is often achieved through slight variations in their niches, or the unique roles that each species plays in an ecosystem. By occupying slightly different niches, similar species can reduce competition and coexist peacefully.
