Diversity Attenuates the Intensity of Competition
Competiton as an organizing force in communities is thought to lead to the inevitable exclusion of some species. However, competition among groups of species is complex and may actually serve to promote coexistence through the formation of positive indirect interactions.

Biogeographic Shifts in Competitive Interactions of Invasive Species in New Ranges
Invasive species, such as spotted knapweed, provide unique opportunities to explore how plant communities form as well as understand mechanisms of plant competition. By using biogeographical comparisons, much can be learned about the novel traits that make invaders successful in their new ranges.
