Summary Introduction
To explain: The method by which resource partitioning involving ecological character displacement can ease competition between coexisting species.
Introduction: Resource partitioning is based on the differences in organismal morphology or behavior towards the exploitation of a resource.

Describe two interspecific interactions where both species benefit and both species are at a disadvantage. Identify the interaction.
Compare and contrast species scale vs. system scale goals for conserving both mutualist biodiversity and mutualist ecosystem function. Give a real world example in which one of these approaches is used for mutualism conservation and explain its strengths and weaknesses with respect to conserving mutualism.
