Competitive Exclusion Principle: The concept that when populations of two similar species compete for the same limited resources, one will use them more efficiently and have a reproductive advantage that will lead to the elimination of the other population.
Habitat Fragmentation: The process by which habitat loss results in the division of large, continuous habitats into smaller, more isolated remnants.
Adaptive Radiation:An evolutionary process where organisms diversify rapidly into a multitude of new forms particularly when a change in the environment makes new resources available, creates new challenges, or opens new environmental niches.
