Provides a current, critical review of the importance of interspecific competition, considering the evolutionary effects of interspecific competition, its importance in structuring communities, and influence on the traits of individual species.

André Dhondt is the Edwin H. Morgens Professor of Ornithology at Cornell University. He studied biology at Ghent State University where he obtained his Ph.D. After working for F.A.O. in Madagascar and Western Samoa, he returned to his native Belgium to teach at the newly founded Universitaire Instelling Antwerpen, part of Antwerp University. In Antwerp he developed an active research group in population and behavioural ecology and started his long-term field experiments on interspecific competition between great and blue tits. He was a visiting professor in Zaire (now Congo), Algeria and Paris. He moved to the Laboratory of Ornithology at Cornell University in 1994 where he explored the effects of a newly emerged disease on house finches across North America. He has published more than 250 papers and book chapters and has co-edited a book on Dispersal. He is a member of the Academiae Europaeae and many ornithological and ecological societies.
