PMID: 22875810
Background And Aims: Photosynthetic thermotolerance (PT) is important for plant survival in tropical and sub-tropical savannas. However, little is known about thermotolerance of tropical and sub-tropical wild plants and its...

Ecology
. 2008 Aug;
89(7):1908-20.
PMID: 18705377
A central goal of comparative plant ecology is to understand how functional traits vary among species and to what extent this variation has adaptive value. Here we evaluate relationships between...

Tree Physiol
. 2008 Jun;
28(8):1277-85.
PMID: 18519259
Lianas differ from trees in many life history characteristics, and we predicted that they are phenotypically more responsive to environmental variation than trees. We analyzed responsiveness to light and nutrient...

New Phytol
. 2006 Jul;
171(2):367-78.
PMID: 16866943
Wood density plays a central role in the life-history variation of trees, and has important consequences for mechanical properties of wood, stem and branches, and tree architecture. Wood density, modulus...

Am Nat
. 2006 May;
167(5):758-65.
PMID: 16671019
A dominant hypothesis explaining tree species coexistence in tropical forest is that trade-offs in characters allow species to adapt to different light environments, but tests for this hypothesis are scarce....

. 2004 Dec;
6(6):746-54.
PMID: 15570481
We evaluated leaf characteristics and herbivory intensities for saplings of fifteen tropical tree species differing in their successional position. Eight leaf traits were selected, related to the costs of leaf...

. 1999 Oct;
86(10):1464-73.
PMID: 10523286
Architecture and leaf display were compared in saplings of six rain forest tree species differing in shade tolerance. Saplings were selected along the whole light range encountered in a forest...
