Syntopy
In ecology, syntopy means the joint occurrence of two species in the same habitat at the same time. Just as the broader term sympatry, "syntopy" is used especially for close species that might hybridise or even be sister species. ''Sympatric'' species occur together in the same region, but do not necessarily share the same localities as ''syntopic'' species do. Areas of syntopy are of interest because they allow to study how similar species may coexist without outcompeting each other. As an example, the two bat species ''Myotis auriculus'' and ''M. evotis'' were found to be syntopic in North America.〔 In contrast, the marbled newt and the northern crested newt have a large sympatric range in western France, but differ in their habitat preferences and only rarely occur syntopically in the same breeding ponds.〔 ==References==
