Broader niches resulted in increasing niche overlap and competition but enhanced species mobility, allowing abundance levels to approach expected values determined by map resources.
The breadth of adaptive radiation attainable by an invading lineage decreased with increasing niche occupation of the resident community.
Complex habitats can reduce predation by providing shelter [77], lower competition through increased niche availability [78], [79], and provide specific settlement habitat for larvae [80].
