Table 2. Niche overlap indexes (NO) between B. plicatilis and B. manjavacas for the analyzed niche axes.

Niche Axis	NO	P-value*
CRTs	0.798	0.450
CRNa	0.852	0.906
Df	0.954	0.166
Dm	0.958	0.118
rpot6	0.755	0.345
rpot12	0.707	0.282
rpot18	0.673	0.210
rpot24	0.546	0.033

CR_Ts and CR_Na, clearance rates for T. suecica and N. atomus; D_f and D_m, predation by female and male copepods; r_pot6, r_pot12, r_pot18 and r_pot24, potential intrinsic growth rate after 6, 12, 18 and 24 hours of starvation, respectively.

^*Axis with statistically different niches, significant at P<0.05 as identified by a null model test, are indicated in bold. No value remained significant after sequential Bonferroni correction.
