Temporal differences in food abundance promote coexistence between two congeneric passerines.
Many related species share the same environment and utilize similar resources. This is surprising because based on the principle of competitive exclusion one would predict that the superior competitor would drive the other species to extinction; coexistence is only predicted if interspecific competi...
