 +===== Introduction =====
  
 The mechanisms behind the coexistence of competitor species is one the major questions of community ecology. One of the proposed mechanisms are trade-offs, such as the colonization-competition trade-off, in which species highly efficient in finding new resources are not able to fend off competitors, and species highly efficient in monopolizing resources are not efficient in finding them.\\ The mechanisms behind the coexistence of competitor species is one the major questions of community ecology.
