- Conspecific and phylogenetic density‐dependent survival differs across life stages in a tropical forest (2015, methodology): “Since initial size can significantly affect survival (Comita et al. 2009; Wang et al. 2012; Piao et al. 2013), we also included log-transformed size at the start of the specific census interval (dbh for saplings, juveniles and adults; height for seedlings) as a fixed effect in the model.”
- Pervasive shifts in forest dynamics in a changing world (2020, background): “Storminduced mortality is greatest for larger trees (96), and the loss of large canopy trees during wind disturbance favors growth of surviving trees (96, 97) and advances regeneration, recruitment of early successional species (98), or resprouting of trees broken by wind (99).”
- Seasonal differentiation in density‐dependent seedling survival in a tropical rain forest (2012, background): “This is suggested, for example, by the finding of Comita et al. (2009) that the effect of conspecific neighbours varied over different census intervals following hurricane disturbance in PuertoRico, likely due to changes in resource availability and the dynamics of natural enemies.”
- Consequences of Seed Dispersal for Plant Recruitment in Tropical Forests: Interactions Within the Seedscape (2013, background): “In addition, the relative contribution of different processes may shift over time (Muller-Landau et al. 2002, Comita et al. 2009, Paine & Harms 2009), but this is difficult to identify when examining spatial patterns at a given point in time and within a certain spatial scale.”
