Congeneric predators fill discrete niches created by the relative abundances of their prey species
To what degree is niche partitioning driven by underlying patterns in resources such as food, rather than by competition itself? Do discrete niches exist? We address these questions in the context of Cooper's and sharp‐shinned hawks, two broadly sympatric, North American, bird‐eating raptors in...
