An organism’s niche defines its role and place within an ecosystem, detailing both where it resides and how it acquires the necessary resources for survival. When competing species utilize their environment differently or share resources, they can coexist in the same space; niche partitioning enables similar species to thrive within a habitat. In this activity, students analyze data provided in the HHMI 2015 Holiday Lecture "How Species Coexist" to delve into niche partitioning, understand its mechanics, and reinterpret the classic grazer-browser spectrum model in light of recent dietary data garnered through DNA metabarcoding.
