Human disturbance has contrasting effects on niche partitioning within carnivore communities
Among species, coexistence is driven partly by the partitioning of available resources. The
mechanisms of coexistence and competition among species have been a central topic …

Effects of human impacts on habitat use, activity patterns and ecological relationships among medium and small felids of the Atlantic Forest
Competition theory and niche theory suggest that two morphologically similar species may
coexist by reducing the overlap of at least one dimension of their ecological niche. The …
