Fitness-density covariance
The fitness-density covariance is a coexistence mechanism that can allow similar species to coexist because they are in different locations. This effect will be the strongest if species are completely segregated, but can also work if their populations overlap somewhat. If a fitness-density covariance is operating, then when a species becomes very rare, its population will shift to predominately locations with favorable conditions (e.g., less competition or good habitat). Similarly, when a species becomes very common, then conditions will worsen where they are most common, and they will spread into areas where conditions are less favorable. This negative feedback can help species avoid being driven extinct by competition, and it can prevent stronger species from becoming too common and crow
