| foraging niche segregation in malaysian babblers (family: timaliidae). | tropical rainforests are considered as hotspots for bird diversity, yet little is known about the system that upholds the coexistence of species. differences in body size that are associated with foraging strategies and spatial distribution are believed to promote the coexistence of closely related species by reducing competition. however, the fact that many babbler species do not differ significantly in their morphology has challenged this view. we studied the foraging ecology of nine sympatric ... | 2017 | 28253284 |
