Restoration of natural disturbance regimes that create habitat heterogeneity should be considered. More generally, this study highlights the need for a community-level approach to conservation and the usefulness of basic ecological data for guiding management decisions.

[Rachel Chock @RachelYChock]

How do species that compete for shared resources continue to coexist? How do small subordinate species persist with larger dominant competitors? This is important when conservation interventions (eg reintroduction/translocation) are necessary for the smaller species.

Every week, the @AnimBehSociety highlights an article in #ConservationBehavior @ConservBehavior

Niche partitioning in an assemblage of granivorous #rodents, and the challenge of community-level #conservation

Article in Oecologia by @RachelYChock et al: https://t.co/I8vpYx6nzU

[Rachel Chock @RachelYChock]

We tested for spatial & temporal partitioning btwn 6 species of wild rodents. We found:
-activity patterns aggregated temporally; segregated spatially
-larger species drive space use
-species-specific habitat associations; habitat heterogeneity is part of what enables coexistence
