Spanish term or phrase: solapamiento
This comes from a text about research into listing the local species found in a region of central Spain. My hunch is the word means some sort of information overload, but I´m not sure.

"Tras realizar un tratamiento previo de normalización para todas las variables cuantitativas, un total de 49, se procedió a reducir las mismas para evitar solapamientos e identificar los descriptores relevantes mediante la aplicación de un análisis de ordenación factorial, lo que redujo la cifra inicial a 18 variables cuantitativas."
