Variation in tropical forest growth rates: combined effects of functional group composition and resource availability (2003, background): “AlvarezBuylla & Martinez-Ramos 1992; Grubb 1996), and the issue has been comprehensively reviewed several times (Brokaw 1985; Denslow 1987; Brown & Jennings 1998; Brokaw & Busing 2000; Turner 2001; Burslem & Swaine 2002).”
A Sticky Affair: Resin Collection by Bornean Stingless Bees (2009, background): “Dipterocarps are highly resinous (Turner 2001) and their resin is known to inhibit the growth of pollen-associated fungi (Messer 1985).”
Composition and Dynamics of Functional Groups of Trees During Tropical Forest Succession in Northeastern Costa Rica (2010, background): “…growth characteristics; or (4) response to fire or hurricanes (Knight 1975, Swaine & Whitmore 1988, Lieberman et al. 1990, Thomas & Bazzaz 1999, Turner 2001, Burslem & Swaine 2002, Baker et al. 2003, Wright et al. 2003, Gourlet-Fleury et al. 2005, Poorter & Bongers 2006, Easdale et al. 2007,…”
Beyond the regeneration phase: differentiation of height–light trajectories among tropical tree species (2005, background): “This underscores the fact that Hmax is an important life-history trait for which tree species differentiate (Thomas 1996b; Thomas & Bazzaz 1999; Turner 2001; Westoby et al. 2002).”
Demographic and life-history correlates for Amazonian trees (2005, background): “…which are frequently associated with life-history differences along a continuum between early and late successional trees (Condit et al. 1996a, b; Turner 2001); however, this simple gradient obscures considerable ecological variation among species (Welden et al. 1991; Clark & Clark 1992; Davies…”
Causes and implications of the correlation between forest productivity and tree mortality rates (2011, background): “Although we are also unaware of quantitative comparisons of resin and latex defenses between tropical and temperate forests, such defenses are common in both (e.g., Guariguata and Gilbert 1996, Turner 2001:73, Franceschi et al. 2005).”
Functional trait and phylogenetic tests of community assembly across spatial scales in an Amazonian forest (2010, background): “…is the hypothesis of niche partitioning in relation to heterogeneous light environments inside and outside treefall gaps (Grubb 1977, Orians 1982, Turner 2001), to different canopy strata (Terborgh 1985, Kohyama 1993, Falster and Westoby 2003), and to habitat or microtopographic specialization…”
Slow‐growing species cope best with drought: evidence from long‐term measurements in a tropical semi‐deciduous moist forest of Central Africa (2013, background): “…Chazdon et al. 2010) and conformed to the big picture that species can be ordinated along two nearly independent axes that sum up correlated traits (Turner 2001; Gourlet-Fleury et al. 2005): adult stature, life span and mortality rate for the first axis; light requirement, growth rate and wood…”
