Niche partitioning is an ecological concept where different species share the same habitat but utilize different resources or occupy different roles. This allows them to coexist without competing directly for the same resources, such as food, space, or light. For example, in a forest, some birds may feed on insects in the trees, while others may forage on the ground. This strategy helps maintain biodiversity and ecosystem stability. By dividing resources, species like birds, plants, and insects can thrive together, reducing competition and promoting a balanced environment. Niche partitioning is essential for understanding how ecosystems function and how species adapt to their surroundings.
