    The authors consider solutions of the semilinear elliptic partial differential equation \[ \Delta u+f(u)=0,\quad x\in\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^N \tag{1} \] which are nonnegative and vanishing at the boundary. The goal of the authors is to analyze the symmetry and the related monotonicity question for nonlinearities that are continuous but not Lipschitz continuous. The basic tools in the proof are a local variant of the moving plane method and the unique continuation principle.
