Using trait and phylogenetic diversity to evaluate the generality of the stress‐dominance hypothesis in eastern North American tree communities (2014, background): “Using species-level mean traits may have masked local mechanisms whereby trait plasticity among individuals allows coexistence through niche partitioning (Clark 2010, Burns and Strauss 2012).”
The reciprocal relationship between competition and intraspecific trait variation (2016, background): “Although some of this variation is thought to be induced by resource limitation, certain aspects of these behaviours are likely an adaptive response to the competitive environment (Novoplansky 2009; Burns & Strauss 2012; Heger et al. 2014; Semchenko, Saar & Lepik 2014; Belter & Cahill 2015).”
