State
Resource partitioning is the differentiation of niches, in space, time, or resource type, allowing similar competing species to coexist by reducing the overlap competitive exclusion otherwise penalizes.

Watch for
Resource partitioning reduces competitive overlap — it does not eliminate the underlying competition.
