Foraging behaviour as a mechanism for trophic niche separation in a millipede community of southern Vietnam

Trophic differentiation is one of the mechanisms for species coexisting in the communities of soil arthropods. Even in saprophagous animals having a generalized diet, separation of the trophic niches can be achieved by using different behavioural foraging strategies. We examined the foraging behaviour and time budget use in two millipede species, Thyropygus carli and Orthomorpha sp., which share the same habitat and have similar diet, in a...
