Changes in coexistence mechanisms along a long‐term soil chronosequence revealed by functional trait diversity (2012, background): “The link between a resourceretentive strategy and chemical anti-herbivore defence has long been established, with chemical defences often assumed to be an adaptation which allows retentive species to limit tissue loss and thus conserve nutrient resources (e.g. Coley 1987).”
The resource availability hypothesis revisited: a meta‐analysis (2011, background): “The resource availability hypothesis (RAH), also called the growth rate hypothesis (Coley 1987; Stamp 2003), accepted Feeny’s premise that long-lived species (apparent) invested heavily in defences and short-lived species (unapparent) did not, but presented an alternative explanation of the…”
Plant defense syndromes. (2006, background): “…defense theories (Bryant et al. 1983), Coley and colleagues hypothesized that plant species colonizing light gaps would have divergent (trading-off) suites of defense traits, compared to species colonizing the more resource-poor understory in tropical forests (Coley 1983, 1987, Coley et al. 1985).”
Bark traits and life-history strategies of tropical dry- and moist forest trees (2014, background): “Light-demanding forest species tend to be fast growing, and for them, the opportunity costs of resource investments in structural defences (such as bark) are high (Coley 1987) because it comes at the expense of a reduced investment in leaves, which curtails potential growth rates.”
Plant traits predict inter‐ and intraspecific variation in susceptibility to herbivory in a hyperdiverse Neotropical rain forest tree community (2014, unknown): “Although the investment in plant defences is conceived as a survival strategy to guarantee tissue development, the energy necessary for this purpose may interfere with growth rates (Coley 1987).”
