 critical to parameterize population models describing the dynamics of interacting species. They also allow computing a series of metrics associated with modern coexistence theory that inform about the likelihood of species to coexist. These metrics are 1) <em>niche differences</em> that stabilize coexistence between competing species and 2) <em>average fitness differences</em> that drive competitive dominance and, in the absence of niche differences, determine the superior competitor.</p>
