Gap regeneration and replacement patterns in an old-growth Fagus–Abies forest of Bosnia–Herzegovina (2010, background): “A potential coexistence mechanism could be related to ontogenetic changes in shade tolerance (Kneeshaw et al. 2006; Lusk 2004).”
PERFORMANCE TRADE-OFFS AMONG TROPICAL TREE SEEDLINGS IN CONTRASTING MICROHABITATS (2005, background): “Size-dependent shifts in reaction norms for individual species may result in performance rank reversals between species, even for the same fitness component in the same microhabitat (McConnaughay and Coleman 1999, Lusk 2004).”
A review of light interception in plant stands from leaf to canopy in different plant functional types and in species with varying shade tolerance (2010, background): “demonstrated that increases in foliage life-span result in greater sapling foliage area in temperate evergreen species (Lusk 2004; Lusk and Contreras 1999).”
Size‐dependence of growth and mortality influence the shade tolerance of trees in a lowland temperate rain forest (2009, background): “It is generally considered that small individuals are more sensible to disturbances by external stresses such as damage, herbivory or pathogens than larger individuals (Metcalfe & Grubb 1997; Lusk 2004).”
Tropical tree species assemblages in topographical habitats change in time and with life stage (2011, background): “Alternatively, ontogenetic shifts in resource requirements, such as light (Lusk 2004; Poorter et al. 2005), or shifts in water use (Donovan & Ehleringer 1992), may be responsible for conflicting habitat requirements between juvenile and reproductive stages that could neutralize the habitat…”
Ontogenetic variation in light requirements of juvenile rainforest evergreens (2008, background): “The accretion of multiple leaf cohorts by shade-tolerant evergreens (Williams, Field & Mooney 1989; King 1994; Lusk 2002), plus a probable ontogenetic decline in allocation to roots (Lusk 2004), enables these species to maintain their LAR as seedlings grow larger (Lusk 2004).”
Sapling size influences shade tolerance ranking among southern boreal tree species (2006, background): “they conserve metabolic structure), higher relative growth rates and higher respiration under all environmental conditions, and lower allocation to roots than more shade-tolerant species (Lei & Lechowicz 1990; Messier et al. 1999; Coomes & Grubb 2000; Bloor & Grubb 2003; Lusk 2004).”
Developmental changes in habitat associations of tropical trees (2007, background): “Multiple studies have demonstrated shifts in tree species’ light requirements from the seedling to adult stage (Clark & Clark 1992; Grubb 1996; Dalling et al. 2001; Lusk 2004; Poorter et al. 2005), as well as ontogenetic shifts in many physiological and morphological traits related to light capture ”
Quantitative estimation of phenotypic plasticity: bridging the gap between the evolutionary concept and its ecological applications (2006, background): “© 2006 The Authors Journal compilation © 2006 British Ecological Society, Journal of Ecology, 94, 1103–1116 efficiency, which decreases with plant age (Lusk 2004; Pearcy et al. 2005).”
The relationship between tree growth patterns and likelihood of mortality: a study of two tree species in the Sierra Nevada (2007, background): “Woody plants are known to go through various life stages (Greenwood 1995), and trees undergo numerous physiological changes as they age and grow taller, including some that may affect shade tolerance (Niinemets 1998; Fraga et al. 2003; Lusk 2004).”
Determinants of whole‐plant light requirements in Bornean rain forest tree saplings (2007, background): “Likewise, allocation patterns may differ: for example, more shade-tolerant species increased their leaf area ratio and decreased root mass fraction with age/size when compared with less shade-tolerant species, resulting in rank reversals in biomass allocation (Lusk 2004).”
