PERFORMANCE TRADE-OFFS AMONG TROPICAL TREE SEEDLINGS IN CONTRASTING MICROHABITATS (2005, background): “For example, shade tolerance is regularly interpreted to result from a trade-off between survival in low light conditions and RGR in high light conditions (Kitajima 1994, Walters and Reich 1996, 1999, Davies 2001, Dalling and Hubbell 2002).”
Composition and Dynamics of Functional Groups of Trees During Tropical Forest Succession in Northeastern Costa Rica (2010, background): “Initial colonization and seedling recruitment in secondary forests is often strongly limited by dispersal (Mart́ınez-Garza & GonzálezMontagut 1999, Holl et al. 2000, Cubiña & Aide 2001, Dalling & Hubbell 2002, Günter et al. 2007).”
The Ecology of Seeds: References (2005, background): “In rainforest in Panama, Dalling & Hubbell (2002) showed that seeds of pioneer tree species varied in size over four orders of magnitude.”
Tropical forest recovery: legacies of human impact and natural disturbances (2003, background): “Early pioneer seedling communities in artificially created gaps in 70-yr-old secondary forest in Panama strongly reflected the soil seed bank composition (Dalling & Hubbell 2002).”
Producing native plant materials for restoration: 10 rules to collect and maintain genetic diversity (2015, neutral): “This variation can determine establishment success, pre-dation risk, dispersal distance, and even duration of seed dormancy (Hare 1980; Rees 1996; Dalling and Hubbell 2002).”
Seed mass and the competition/colonization trade‐off: competitive interactions and spatial patterns in a guild of annual plants (2004, background): “In general, large-seeded species have been shown to have an establishment advantage (Gross & Werner 1982; Gross 1984; McConnaughay & Bazzaz 1987; Eriksson & Eriksson 1997; Freckleton & Watkinson 2001b; Dalling & Hubbell 2002; Leishman 2001), although fewer studies have directly quantified a relati”
The functional role of soil seed banks in natural communities. (2014, background): “However in other situations the distance to dispersing adult trees or seedling mortality/growth rates are more important for the identity of seedlings that establish in gaps (Dalling and Hubbell, 2002).”
Seed dispersal patterns produced by white‐faced monkeys: implications for the dispersal limitation of neotropical tree species (2003, background): “Microsite limitation is likely to be particularly important for small-seeded and light-demanding species ( Dalling & Hubbell 2002 ), but may also be significant for larger seeded, shade-tolerant species with topographically determined habitat requirements (Webb & Peart 2000; Harms et al . 2001).”
