• Defensive responses of Pinus pinaster seedlings to exogenous application of methyl jasmonate: concentration effect and systemic response. (2009, methodology): “According to the Optimal Defense Theory (Hamilton et al., 2001; Pavia et al., 2002) seedlings receiving information of herbivore or biotic risk could respond by preferentially allocating resources to better guard the most valuable tissues and plant parts.”
• A concise review of the brown macroalga Ascophyllum nodosum (Linnaeus) Le Jolis (2020, background): “These often equal the mass of its vegetative tissues during the reproductive season (Åberg 1996; Pavia et al. 2002).”
• Optimal defence theory and flower petal colour predict variation in the secondary chemistry of wild radish (2004, background): “Predictions of optimal defence theory rely on the relationship between tissue type and fitness (Pavia et al. 2002).”
• Variation in immune defence as a question of evolutionary ecology (2003, background): “In all, optimal defence theory has more often been applied to plants (and especially to herbivory), perhaps because the trade-offs and defence mechanisms (e.g. toxins) are easier to understand and to model (Iwasa et al. 1996; Tuomi et al. 1999; Pavia et al. 2002).”
• Intra-thallus phlorotannin content and antioxidant activity in Phaeophyceae of temperate waters (2006, background): “Pavia et al. (2002) ranked in decreasing order the phenolic levels measured in the different thallus sections of A. nodosum, collected in spring on the coasts of Sweden: stipe (corresponding to the basal part; 7–7.5% DW), then ramifications (ca. 5% DW) and receptacles (3.5–4% DW).”
