Answer:

By avoiding direct competition among these species, for example, by feeding at different times, by occupying distinct habitats, by niche differentiation, character displacement, etc.

Step-by-step explanation:

Resource Partitioning is the strategy that similar species, living in the same area, can develop to avoid the competition among them, thereby ensuring their survival and preventing their decrease in population size. This strategy consists of avoiding direct competition by using limited resources in different ways (as above exemplified), thereby maximizing the efficiency in the use of these available resources.
