I am looking for a book on ecology. The book which deals with explanations by using examples on topics like niches, guilds, community structure and resource partitioning.
If there are some papers explaining these terms, kindly share.
1. Ecology : Robert E. Ricklefs, Gary L. Miller
2. Ecology: The Experimental Analysis of Distribution and Abundance by Charles J. Krebs
Possibly these might help you with your topics.

Begon, Michael; Townsend, Colin R. & Harper, John Lander 2006: Ecology. From individuals to ecosystems. Fourth edition. Malden, Blackwell.
If you are able to read in German, here the textbook that seems to be by far the conceptually most precise one::
Trepl, Ludwig 2005: Allgemeine Ökologie, Band 1: Organismus und Umwelt. Frankfurt/M., Lang.
Trepl, Ludwig 2007: Allgemeine Ökologie, Band 2: Population. Frankfurt/M., Lang.
Dear Harsimran,
are you familiar with the Nature Education Knowledge Project? This website contain a lot of valuable articles related to ecology and I found it very helpful.
Here you have an example concerning resource partitioning (for more try "Search Scitable" section in top right corner - it works very well):

I spent some good time trying to find a book on the fundamentals of ecology for general public, I was kind of looking for someone who was to ecology what Stephen J. Gould is to evolution. Someone suggested this book and I became a huge fan. I taught Urban Ecology in an urban studies program and this was the bible of the course.
