Gause's principle of competitive exclusion states that
1. | Competition for the same resources excludes species having different food preferences |
2. | No two species can occupy the same niche indefinitely for the same limiting resources |
3. | Larger organisms exclude smaller ones through competition |
4. | More abundant species will exclude the less abundant species through competition |
