Detailed explanation-1: -The result of this kind of evolution is that two similar species use largely non-overlapping resources and thus have different niches. This is called resource partitioning, and it helps the species coexist because there is less direct competition between them.

Detailed explanation-2: -The term niche partitioning refers to the process by which natural selection drives competing species into different patterns of resource use or different niches (Hector and Hooper, 2002; From: Advances in Ecological Research, 2016.

Detailed explanation-3: -Resource partitioning or niche differentiation (a process of natural selection that will force competitors to use resources differently) is a way to avoid competition between species and allow for coexistence.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are two kinds of resource partitioning; it can either be a form of habitat partitioning or food partitioning.

Detailed explanation-5: -Resource partitioning is the division of limited resources by species to help avoid competition in an ecological niche. In any environment, organisms compete for limited resources, so organisms and different species have to find ways to coexist with one another.
