Habitat partitioning can promote coexistence of closely related competitors. Two congeneric shrimps (brown shrimp, Penaeus aztecus, and white shrimp, Penaeus setiferus) which utilize estuaries in the southeastern U.S. temporally partition much of their nursery habitat occupancy but also experience a...
