Answer:

The correct answer would be the Gause's Competitive Exclusion Principle.

Explanation:

The three different species of North American warblers cannot share the same niche in the same habitat. Such behavior is called a Principle of Gause's Competitive Exclusion.

It says that the competitors with the same bearing can not co-exist in the same niche or habitat. If they present in the same habitat there always be a dominant species.

Thus, the correct answer would be the Competitive Exclusion Principle.
