The competitive exclusion principle can be best expressed as:

1.  the more abundant species will exclude the less abundant species through competition
2.  competition for the same resources excludes species having different lifestyles
3.  no two species can occupy the same niche indefinitely when resources are limited
4.  larger organisms exclude smaller ones through competition as in the case of large trees controlling underbrush
