How do species face competition and avoid exclusion?

How do species face competition and avoid exclusion?
  1. Evolution of coexistence mechanisms
  2. Choosing different times for feeding
  3. Resource partitioning
  4. The competitively inferior species is eliminated

Solution

According to recent studies, species facing competition might evolve mechanisms that promote co:existence rather than exclusion. One such mechanism is ‘resource partitioning’. If two species compete for the same resource, they could avoid competition by choosing, for instance, different times for feeding or different foraging patterns.
