If you've already taken ecology classes, particularly if you took EEMB120 with Jonathan Levine you should check out recent Nature paper :The importance of niches for the maintenance of species diversity.
There's also a UCSB press release which contains the Readers Digest version.
"Ecologists have long assumed that species differences in how they use the environment are key to explaining the large number of species we see all around us, but the importance of such niches have never been field tested."
