Thu | 12/12/2019 | 15:41 Distribution of species varied independently with competition All species rely on resources such as food and suitable habitat. Competition over these resources could influence how many species are in a region and how geographically widespread are those species. If many species are present and competition is high their distributional areas should be smaller than at times when only a few species exist. Palaeontologists from the University of Oxford, the University of Erlangen, and the Naturkundemuseum Berlin suggest that competition may not be as important on large scales as prevailing theory would imply.
