Five closely related species of warbles can survive on a same tree. This explains which aspect of competition ?

Closely related species of warblers avoid competition due to behavioural differences in their foraging activities. This is an example of

Assertion : Elimination of a competitively inferior species in a closely related or otherwise similar group is known as competitive exclusion principle. Reason : If two species compete for the same resource, they could aviod competition by choosing different times for feeding or different foraging patterns.

A: Five closely related species of warblers living on the same tree can avoid competitioin and co-exist R: This occurs due to behavioural differences in their foraging activities.
