One example of two species dividing up a habitat is the Darwin's finches on the Galápagos Islands, where different species have evolved to exploit various food sources, such as seeds, insects, and flowers, by having distinct beak shapes and sizes. Another example is the northern and southern flying squirrels, which occupy overlapping forest habitats but tend to forage at different heights in the trees, minimizing competition for food. Additionally, the red fox and the gray fox coexist by occupying different niches; the red fox prefers open areas, while the gray fox is more arboreal and often found in denser forests.

Recreational use -hiking, boating, fishing. Development of new recreation sites.
