• Mesoscale distribution patterns of Amazonian understorey herbs in relation to topography, soil and watersheds (2005, background): “…importance of environmental and geographical effects at scales of 1–10 km. Understorey herbs tend to have specific microhabitat requirements (Whigham 2004) and to be dispersal limited (Ehrlén & Eriksson 2000; Svenning & Skov 2002), and a high degree of autocorrelation is therefore expected…”
• Legacies of the past in the present-day forest biodiversity: a review of past land-use effects on forest plant species composition and diversity (2007, background): “Species having relatively large seeds, low fecundity, unassisted (short-distance) dispersal, specific germination requirements, delayed age of first reproduction, clonal growth and no persistent seed bank generally proved to be slow colonizers (see Table 1 and also Whigham 2004 ).”
• The roles of environmental filtering and colonization in the fine‐scale spatial patterning of ground‐layer plant communities in north temperate deciduous forests (2011, background): “Additionally, many forest herb species have long pre-reproductive periods and short-distance dispersal mechanisms (Whigham 2004).”
• A meta-analysis of the effect of forest management for timber on understory plant species diversity in temperate forests (2013, background): “While often overlooked, much of the biodiversity in forests as well as many non-timber forest products and other ecosystem services are provided by understory plants (Whigham, 2004).”
• Forest dynamics following eastern hemlock mortality in the southern Appalachians (2012, methodology): “We sampled the ground layer vegetation seasonally; a design allowing us to capture the phenology of short-lived woodland herbs in addition to herbaceous perennials and longer-live annuals (Whigham 2004).”
• Can plantations develop understory biological and physical attributes of naturally regenerated forests (2008, background): “…conditions found under conifer canopy compared to those of a deciduous canopy, may have inhibited the establishment of many spring-flowering herbs, which are known to be nutrient- and light-demanding during their short spring time, above ground vegetative cycle (Lapointe, 2001; Whigham, 2004).”
• Hierarchical patterns of symbiotic orchid germination linked to adult proximity and environmental gradients (2007, background): “In a recent review of woodland herb ecology, Whigham (2004) highlights the fact that although much is known about their basic biology, there have been few detailed studies that allow the prediction of population dynamics over larger spatial and temporal scales.”
