Resource Partitioning and Niche Differentiation in Sympatric Antelope Species
Quick fact
In many African savannas, up to 20 antelope species coexist in the same habitat because each species specializes in different food resources, such as grazing on specific grass species or browsing on leaves at different heights.
Why this is interesting
On the African savanna, over a dozen antelope species can live in the same area without one driving the others to extinction. How do they manage to coexist without running out of resources?
