Describe and give an example of resource partitioning and explain how it can increase species diversity
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Resource partitioning: 2 species divide a resource based on differences in species behavior or morphology
example: two types of birds both eating the same kind of fruit
It increases species diversity, because eventually they can't all survive by sharing the same exact resource so one has to evolve with either having less or none of the resource
