character displacement
differences among similar species whose distributions overlap geographically are accentuated in regions where the species co-occur but are minimized or lost where the species’ distributions do not overlap. This pattern results from evolutionary change driven by competition among species for a limited resource (e.g. food). The rationale for character displacement stems from the competitive exclusion principle, also called Gause's Law, which contends that to coexist in a stable environment two competing species must differ in their respective ecological niche; without differentiation, one species will eliminate or exclude the other through competition.

sequence of humoral immune response
naïve B cells -> mature B cells -> plasma cells -> antibodies. After naïve B cells become mature in the bone marrow, they move to secondary lymphoid organs and await activation from helper T cells. After activation, mature B cells begin differentiating into plasma cells. In turn, plasma cells produce antibodies which are capable of binding to invading antigens.
