In ecology, the "'competitive exclusion principle "', sometimes referred to as "'Gause's law "', is a proposition named for Georgy Gause that two species resource cannot coexist at constant population values.

In accordance with the competitive exclusion principle, no other species can inhabit the same late summer niche as " D . lumholtzi "; another factor that allows it to have higher survivorship than other " Daphnia " species and is ultimately a better invader.

In aquatic biology, the "'paradox of the plankton "'describes the situation in which a limited range of resources supports an unexpectedly wide range of plankton species, apparently flouting the competitive exclusion principle which holds that when two species compete for the same resource, one will be driven to extinction.
