• Secondary forests on anthropogenic soils in Brazilian Amazonia conserve agrobiodiversity (2010, background): “In general, species richness increases with time, and may reach levels similar to old-growth forests in a relatively short time (Finegan 1996; DeWalt et al. 2003; Capers et al. 2005).”
• Influence of landscape structure and stand age on species density and biomass of a tropical dry forest across spatial scales (2011, methodology): “Several researchers have found similar patterns (Denslow and Guzman 2000; Capers et al. 2005).”
• Demographic drivers of successional changes in phylogenetic structure across life-history stages in plant communities (2012, background): “Indeed, a previous study reported the simultaneous colonization of several canopy palm species that were absent in the previous censuses in these same plots (Capers et al. 2005).”
• Interacting effects of canopy gap, understory vegetation and leaf litter on tree seedling recruitment and composition in tropical secondary forests (2008, background): “This competing vegetation is particularly abundant in the understory and the soil seed bank of young secondary forests (Laska, 1997; Dupuy and Chazdon, 1998; Dewalt et al., 2000; Capers et al., 2005).”
• Successional Change and Resilience of a Very Dry Tropical Deciduous Forest Following Shifting Agriculture (2008, background): “…species can be explained from differences in growth rates, life histories, and longevities of new-incoming species as compared to early-successional ones; these traits cause species turnover in tropical secondary succession (Gómez-Pompa & Vázquez-Yanes 1981, Finegan 1996, Capers et al. 2005).”
