Oligarchic dominance in western Amazonian plant communities (2005, background): “Recent evidence suggests that shade tolerance varies in a continuous fashion among Neotropical tree species (Wright et al. 2003).”
Shedding light on shade: ecological perspectives of understorey plant life (2016, background): “However, a number of studies suggest that the light partitioning hypothesis might not explain species distribution patterns in species-rich ecosystems, since many species overlap strongly in their light requirements (Wright et al. 2003; Getzin et al. 2014; Lilles et al. 2014).”
Neutral theory in community ecology and the hypothesis of functional equivalence (2005, background): “There is also a complete continuum in the demographic characteristics of BCI tree species in terms of population sizes, skewing of stem size class distributions, and wood density (Wright et al .”
Regional and phylogenetic variation of wood density across 2456 Neotropical tree species. (2006, background): “…lie along this continuum: fast-growing species are characterized by low-cost conductive tissues of low wood density (ter Steege and Hammond 2001, Wright et al. 2003, Muller Landau 2004) that allow for fast growth in size because conductive tissue is less expensive to construct (Favrichon 1994,…”
The Bushmeat Harvest Alters Seedling Banks by Favoring Lianas, Large Seeds, and Seeds Dispersed by Bats, Birds, and Wind (2007, background): “Most forest species are relatively shade tolerant and regenerate from the seedling/sapling bank in central Panama (Wright et al. 2003).”
Causes and implications of the correlation between forest productivity and tree mortality rates (2011, background): “Within a forest community, the trade-off is most familiarly expressed in the continuum between shade-tolerant and shade-intolerant species (Pacala et al. 1996, Turner 2001, Wright et al. 2003, Gilbert et al. 2006, Valladares and Niinemets 2008).”
Response of recruitment to light availability across a tropical lowland rain forest community (2009, background): “Our results broadly support the notion that light requirements for recruitment are distributed along a continuum (Denslow 1987; Wright et al. 2003) and that species belong to broad regeneration guilds rather than partitioning the light gradient at a fine scale (Hubbell & Foster 1986).”
Functional traits and the growth-mortality trade-off in tropical trees. (2010, background): “Relative growth rates (RGR) equaled ln(dbh f /dbh i )/[( t f (cid:4) t i )/ 365], where t is day of century and the subscripts f and i are ﬁnal and initial values, respectively.”
Tropical tree seedling growth responses to nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium addition (2012, background): “All ﬁve species are relatively shade tolerantasseedlings,butspanawiderangeofmaximumadultheights (Wright et al. 2003; Gilbert et al. 2006).”
Carbohydrate storage enhances seedling shade and stress tolerance in a neotropical forest (2007, background): “We propose that seedling TNC storage is a functional trait that covaries with the position of species along the growth–survival trade-off continuum (Hubbell & Foster 1992; Kobe et al. 1995; Wright et al. 2003; Gilbert et al. 2006).”
