When two species compete within the same environment, it can lead to character displacement. One species is more likely to survive if there isn't an adaptation to address the competition. What is the definition of character displacement in biology? Character displacement is when two competing speci...
The only book devoted entirely to character displacement and one of few advanced treatments to cover both reproductive character displacement and ECD. Character displacement is presented as a unifying principle that can be applied to many fundamental questions in biology. ...

Consideration of the possibilities and difficulties of detecting character displacement leads to a re-definition of the phenomenon; character displacement is the process by which a morphological character state of a species changes under Natural Selection arising from the presence, in the same environment...

This process, called character displacement, results as natural selection favours those individuals in each species that compete least with individuals of the other species. Experimental studies of coexisting seed-feeding rodents in the deserts of North America have shown that these species have evolved...
