Definition
- [Henderson's] the situation where two or more species use the same resources or the same habitat within a community and thus share the same ecological niche, leading to competition between them. Two species with identical niche requirements cannot co-exist in the same community, but niche overlap may be seen where there are small and difficult to determine ecological differences between species.
