What does the competitive exclusion principle state? Competition between species increases the carrying capacity of those species. Two or more species within the same genus cannot coexist. Two or more species that occupy the same niche cannot coexist. Competing populations will evolve so as to increase the degree of competition. In communities that contain multiple species competing for similar resources, a consequence of resource partitioning is: Increased competition. Decreased diversity. Increased niche width. Decreased niche overlap.
