<p>Understanding the mechanisms that enable species coexistence is essential for explaining community structure and biodiversity. We tested the hypothesis that dietary niche partitioning facilitates coexistence between two dominant stream predators in western North America: Coastal Giant Salamanders (<i>Dicamptodon tenebrosus</i>) and Coastal Cutthroat Trout (<i>Oncorhynchus clarkii clarkii</i>). These aquatic predators are important regulators of community dynamics and ecosystem processes in stream networks. We analyzed stomach contents from 81 salamanders and 96 trout collected via electrofishing in a 6-km section of Lookout Creek, Oregon, during low flow conditions in summer. We predicted that salamanders, primarily nocturnal benthic feeders, and trout, visual consumers of both terrestrial and aquatic prey, would exhibit distinct diets reducing direct diet overlap. We identified 4,897 prey items, classifying them into aquatic (50) and terrestrial (77) sources across 127 categories. Salamanders primarily preyed on aquatic invertebrates (Trichoptera, Ephemeroptera, and Plecoptera), while trout consumed a mix of terrestrial and aquatic invertebrates (Diptera, Trichoptera, and Plecoptera). Partial dietary overlap confirmed niche differentiation as a likely mechanism facilitating the coexistence of trout and salamanders. These findings highlight the role of dietary partitioning in structuring predator communities and inform predictions of how environmental changes may impact stream ecosystems.</p>
