Its complicated to explain this question: I have two species, competitors by interference, but in my study area they have considerable spatial overlap. I think it might be based on the limited resources of the area, that "force" them to be together, even when risks are present. Like in a strong drought, all animals come together in water sources. 

Is there an theoretical concept for this? I was thinking first in environmental filtering, but it doesn't seem correct. 

Any existing concept? Thanks!
