• PERFORMANCE TRADE-OFFS AMONG TROPICAL TREE SEEDLINGS IN CONTRASTING MICROHABITATS (2005, background): “The most common fitness component trade-off involves species with higher survivorship exhibiting lower maximum relative growth rate (RGR) (Latham 1992, Kitajima 2002, Schiesari 2004).”
• Mechanisms of monodominance in diverse tropical tree‐dominated systems (2011, background): “Possible feedback mechanisms identified include deep litter layers favouring larger-seeded species (Scarpa & Valio 2008), which tend to be more shade tolerant (Kitajima 2002), thriving under the deep shade of the canopy (Walters & Reich 2000).”
• Seed–seedling allometry in tropical rain forest trees: seed mass‐related patterns of resource allocation and the ‘reserve effect’ (2004, background): “The time at which this happens varies between species and between resources within species, but can be identified experimentally (Kitajima 2002).”
• Carbohydrate storage enhances seedling shade and stress tolerance in a neotropical forest (2007, background): “Gradually, following development of the first photosynthetic cotyledons or leaves, seedlings achieve positive RGR (Kitajima 2002).”
