2008 journal article
Positive interactions among competitors can produce species-rich communities
ECOLOGY LETTERS, 11(9), 929–936.
author keywords: facilitation; interaction component; resource competition; species coexistence; theoretical ecology
MeSH headings : Animals; Biodiversity; Competitive Behavior; Ecology; Models, Biological; Population Dynamics
TL;DR:
It is shown that positive interactions among resource competitors can produce species-rich model communities supported by a single limiting resource and that focusing on the net interaction between species may conceal important coexistence mechanisms when species simultaneously engage in both antagonistic and positive interactions.

Variation in seed dispersal along an elevational gradient in Great Smoky Mountains National Park
ACTA OECOLOGICA-INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ECOLOGY, 34(2), 155–162.
Contributors: T. Zelikova*, R. Dunn n & N. Sanders *
author keywords: Altitude; Ants; Aphaenogaster; Elevation; Mutualism; Trillium undulatum; Seed dispersal
