- Testing predictions of the Janzen–Connell hypothesis: a meta-analysis of experimental evidence for distance- and density-dependent seed and seedling survival (2014, background): “However, there is little evidence for strong seedling–seedling competition, at least in tropical forests (Wright 2002; Paine et al. 2008; Terborgh 2012).”
- Seasonal differentiation in density‐dependent seedling survival in a tropical rain forest (2012, background): “There have also been several experiments examining seedling competition in tropical forests (Gerhardt 1996; Massey et al. 2006; Paine et al. 2008).”
- Distance‐responsive natural enemies strongly influence seedling establishment patterns of multiple species in an Amazonian rain forest (2010, background): “Two recent studies (Paine et al. 2008; Svenning, Fabbro & Wright 2008) arrived at the same conclusion but our study goes further by using mixed aggregations of multiple species and simultaneously documenting the effect of distance from conspecific adults on seedling establishment.”
- Conspecific and phylogenetic density‐dependent survival differs across life stages in a tropical forest (2015, background): “Previous studies have found that seedling–seedling competition is weak in tropical forests (Paine et al. 2008; Svenning, Fabbro & Wright 2008).”
- How to fit nonlinear plant growth models and calculate growth rates: an update for ecologists (2012, methodology): “These calculations have been widely used in ecology (for one of many examples, see Paine et al. 2008), but are predicated on the rarely tenable assumption that growth is exponential.”
