    2222The niche overlap index can be used to describe various kinds of niche partitioning. Here attention will be focused on the trophic aspects. In this case, the ''P,,ki,,'' and ''P,,ji,,'' in Eq. 30 can be interpreted as the fraction prey ''i'' contributes to the diets of ''j'' and ''k'', respectively.

    24 Using an approach similar to that above, it is possible to quantify the predation on all preys ''m'' and ''n'' by all predators ''l'', and to derive a ‘predator’ composition, estimated from

    32 Here ''X,,ml,,'' can be interpreted as the fraction the predation by'' l'' contributes to the total predation on ''m'', while ''Q,,l,,'' is the total consumption for predator ''l''. The predator compositions given above correspond to what Augoustinovics (1970) defined, in the context of input-output analysis, as ‘technical coefficients’.
