Abstract
Tottenham (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) were found to co-occur throughout a large
expanse of Africa, apparently coexisting in the same habitat. The biology of the
three species was investigated to establish the extent of this co-occurrence, and to
explore the mechanisms, if any, by which these three species coexist.
