In nature, plant species having the same pollinators experience 'reproductive interference' owing to competition, and their coexistence is thought to be possible only through resource partitioning.

Woodpeckers are a good example of resource partitioning: they share physical similarities but have specialized adaptations to let them coexist in a forest without competing for the same food. This ...
