n San Francisco Bay, shorebirds compete for small invertebrates living in the mud. Due to natural selection, some birds have very long beaks and legs to reach deep areas and some have short curved beaks. The characters of these birds are so extreme that they are highly specialized in their food sources and there is little overlap in diet. The different body plans of these birds is an example of:   a specialized mutualism. resource partitioning. character displacement. competitive exclusion.

Ecological Interactions

The study of the ecological interactions between living beings and their physical environment, including humans, is ecology. It aims to understand the crucial links between plants and animals and the world around them. Ecology also gives knowledge on the advantages of ecosystems and how we may use Earth resources to ensure that future generations have a healthy environment.
