Spatiotemporal niche partitioning in a specious silphid community (Coleoptera: Silphidae Nicrophorus)

Resource niche partitioning mediates the coexistence of similar species by reducing the chance of competitive encounters. For co-occurring species that share an ephemeral resource, contrasting activity in space and time may facilitate their persistence. Burying beetles (Silphidae: Nicrophorus ) depe...
