• Secondary forests of central Panama increase in similarity to old-growth forest over time in shade tolerance but not species composition (2013, methodology): “The quantitative metric was a community-weighted mean of a species-specific light requirement index developed by Rüger et al. (2009) as an estimate of how light availability affects recruitment into the sapling community of the BCI 50-ha plot in relation to light.”
• Functional traits and the growth-mortality trade-off in tropical trees. (2010, background): “As an example, low light levels exclude most species from some proportion of potential regeneration sites with the proportion increasing from shade-tolerant to light-demanding species (Ru¨ger et al. 2009).”
