The competitive exclusion principle states one species will outcompete another with identical niches, but niche partitioning allows coexistence by differentiating resource use, thereby reducing competition.
Prinsip eksklusi kompetitif menyatakan bahwa jika dua spesies dengan relung ekologis yang identik bersaing, maka salah satu pasti akan mendorong yang lain ke kepunahan. Partisi relung terjadi ketika dua spesies membedakan relung mereka, sehingga bersaing lebih sedikit dan memungkinkan mereka untuk hidup berdampingan. Partisi relung mengurangi persaingan untuk sumber daya terbatas karena setiap spesies mengakses sumber daya dengan cara yang berbeda.
| Text | The competitive exclusion principle states that if two species with identical ecological niches compete, then one will inevitably drive the other to extinction. Niche partitioning occurs when two species differentiate their niches, thus tending to compete less strongly and allowing them to coexist. Niche partitioning decreases competition for limited resources because each species is accessing the resources in different ways. |
