Annual Rainfall and Seasonality Predict Pan‐tropical Patterns of Liana Density and Basal Area (2010, methodology): “Schnitzer (2005) found a negative relationship between mean annual rainfall and liana density using a pan-tropical dataset collected by A. Gentry (in Phillips & Miller 2002), as well as a negative relationship between rainfall and liana density and a positive relationship with seasonality in a…”
A new subfamilial and tribal classification of the pantropical flowering plant family Annonaceae informed by molecular phylogenetics (2012, unknown): “Inventories of tropical forests on all continents invariably list Annonaceae as one of the most diverse plant families (Phillips & Miller, 2002).”
Seasonal drought limits tree species across the Neotropics (2017, background): “…from 531 floristic inventories from three plot networks: ATDN (ter Steege et al. 2003, 2013), RAINFOR (Malhi et al. 2002) and Gentry and Phillips plots (Gentry 1988, Phillips and Miller 2002, Phillips et al. 2003), distributed throughout the western Neotropics (Supplementary material Appendix 2).”
Variation in above-ground forest biomass across broad climatic gradients (2011, methodology): “The current study makes use of a consistent sampling regime based on 0.1-ha forest inventory plots (based on the methods of Alwyn Gentry; see Phillips & Miller, 2002) that sample a broad region of global climatic space (Fig.”
A Floristic Study of the White-Sand Forests of Peru1 (2010, background): “Previous reports from near Iquitos claimed plot-level diversity totals of more than 100 species for WS forest plots (Gentry, 1986; Ruokolainen & Tuomisto, 1998; Phillips & Miller, 2002).”
What controls liana success in Neotropical forests (2008, methodology): “We use a subset of data collected by the late A. H. Gentry using a standardized sampling methodology (Phillips and Miller 2002; data available from http://www.mobot.org/MOBOT/Research/ gentry/transect.shtml).”
Phylogenetic diversity of Amazonian tree communities (2015, background): “…of these recently developed PD metrics, in conjunction with the advent of standardized floristic sampling across Amazonia (Malhi et al., 2002; Phillips & Miller, 2002) and a robust angiosperm phylogeny (Bremer et al., 2009), now make it possible to examine how PD varies at large spatial…”
Structure and Biomass of Four Lowland Neotropical Forests (2004, background): “Our densities were markedly different at individual sites and for averages among lowland Neotropical rain forest sites reported by Gentry (Gentry 1982, 1991; Phillips & Miller 2002).”
