Character displacement has occurred if:
|
|
Two species in the same habitat evolve to be more different than if they are in different habitats.
|
|
|
One species chases the other out of the habitat they previously shared.
|
|
|
A characteristic is lost when an organism migrates into a new area.
|
|
|
A characteristic lost by one species is adopted by another.

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Character displacement results from selection for traits that reduce the overlap in resource use with a similar species. If two or more competing species evolve in response to one another, character displacement can be considered a type of coevolution.
Detailed explanation-2: -Character displacement is the term used to describe an evolutionary change that occurs when two similar species inhabit the same environment. Under such conditions, natural selection favors a divergence in the characters–morphology, ecology, behavior, or physiology–of the organisms.
