Variations in how different species utilize a resource are thought to generate wider resource consumption (Finke & Snyder, 2008).Differential selection pressures on species to compete and fulfill different spatial niches can serve as mechanisms sustaining species diversity of organisms, such as vertebrates and arthropods in tropical rain forests (Davis et al., 1997).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
