Two ways to survive an infection: what resistance and tolerance can teach us about treatments for infectious diseases (2008, methodology): “Plant ecologists have adapted this method to assess the fitness of a plant (for example, in terms of seed production) in response to a measurement of pathogen load, be it the damage that is induced by the pathogen or the host response to it, or the actual number of pathogens in the hos”
Ecological immunology and tolerance in plants and animals (2011, background): “…if fitness were measured in only a single environment, and then compared among genetic lines, one cannot be certain that a differential response in fitness between lines is a consequence of the environmental factor in question or a consequence of an unknown environmental factor (Simms 2000).”
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi affect plant tolerance and chemical defences to herbivory through different mechanisms (2016, background): “For example, it can be estimated by fitness differences between damaged and undamaged plants (Garrido et al. 2010), or the negative slope between the extent of damage and fitness (Simms 2000), or simply, regrowth ability (Agrawal & Fishbein 2008).”
Plastic defence expression in plants (2010, background): “Tolerance is the ability to maintain fitness in the presence of stress because it minimizes the decline in fitness from the level achieved in a favourable environment to that produced under stressful conditions ( Simms 2000 ; N un ˜ez-Farfa ´n et al. 2007; Oliver et al. 2009).”
An evolutionary ecology perspective to address forest pathology challenges of today and tomorrow (2016, unknown): “Tolerance in its restricted meaning (i.e., mechanisms that reduce the host fitness costs of infection , Roy and Kirchner 2000; Simms 2000) has been the subject of a growing interest as a potentially more stable defense component than true resistance since it was considered to place little or no…”
Fitness consequences of immune responses: strengthening the empirical framework for ecoimmunology (2011, methodology): “…of rodent malaria was studied by Raberg, Sim & Read (2007), using an approach in line with studies of tolerance to herbivory (Tiffin & Rausher 1999; Simms 2000), though in plant studies the focus has been fitness (e.g. seed set) per unit of direct and measurable damage (e.g. leaf area lost due to…”
