Species coexistence is a research area in ecology that seeks to understand how multiple species can live together in the same ecosystem without outcompeting each other to extinction. This field explores the factors that allow different species to utilize resources in their environment without directly competing with one another, such as partitioning resources, niche differentiation, and interspecific interactions. Researchers in this area also examine the role of predation, competition, and environmental factors in shaping the patterns of species coexistence in communities. Ultimately, studying species coexistence can provide valuable insights into the functioning and resilience of ecosystems.
