Four sets of elevational zonation--and thus competitive regimes--shown by western chipmunks in the Southern Rockies: (1) a single species extends over all elevations, (2) sharing the mountain only with a lower-elevation congener, (3) sharing only with a higher elevation congener, and (4) sandwiched between upper and lower elevation congeners. Plotting symbols represent different species in Howell's "Eutamias quadrivittatus species group (from my dissertation).
