Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Resource partitioning 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 limited resources are divided by the species to avoid competition in an ecological niche. This is known as resource partitioning. Various species have to find out ways to coexist with one another in any environment because of the competition for limited resources.
