Massad T, Richards L, Philbin C, Fumiko Yamaguchi L, Kato M, Jeffrey C, et al.
Ecology
. 2022 May;
103(9):e3762.
PMID: 35593436
Species richness in tropical forests is correlated with other dimensions of diversity, including the diversity of plant-herbivore interactions and the phytochemical diversity that influences those interactions. Understanding the complexity of...

Kattge J, Bonisch G, Diaz S, Lavorel S, Prentice I, Leadley P, et al.
Glob Chang Biol
. 2020 Jan;
26(1):119-188.
PMID: 31891233
Plant traits-the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants-determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ecosystem properties and their benefits and detriments...

Vanickova L, Pompeiano A, Madera P, Massad T, Vahalik P
Phytochemistry
. 2019 Nov;
170:112197.
PMID: 31759268
Dragon's blood is the colloquial name for the red resin produced by tree species in the genus Dracaena (Asparagaceae), and the resin is directly involved in plant defensive mechanisms against...

Massad T, Balch J, Mews C, Porto P, Marimon Junior B, Quintino R, et al.
Oecologia
. 2015 Feb;
178(3):807-17.
PMID: 25676107
Understanding tropical forest diversity is a long-standing challenge in ecology. With global change, it has become increasingly important to understand how anthropogenic and natural factors interact to determine diversity. Anthropogenic...

Massad T, Trumbore S, Ganbat G, Reichelt M, Unsicker S, Boeckler A, et al.
New Phytol
. 2014 Apr;
203(2):607-619.
PMID: 24739022
Large amounts of carbon are required for plant growth, but young, growing tissues often also have high concentrations of defensive secondary metabolites. Plants' capacity to allocate resources to growth and...

Massad T, Dyer L, Vega C G
PLoS One
. 2012 Nov;
7(10):e47554.
PMID: 23115654
One of the goals of chemical ecology is to assess costs of plant defenses. Intraspecific trade-offs between growth and defense are traditionally viewed in the context of the carbon-nutrient balance...

Massad T, Balch J, Davidson E, Brando P, Mews C, Porto P, et al.
Oecologia
. 2012 Oct;
172(1):219-29.
PMID: 23053239
Surface fires burn extensive areas of tropical forests each year, altering resource availability, biotic interactions, and, ultimately, plant diversity. In transitional forest between the Brazilian cerrado (savanna) and high stature...

Oecologia
. 2012 Oct;
172(1):1-10.
PMID: 23053231
The effect of herbivory on plant performance is the subject of a large number of ecological studies, and plant responses to herbivory range from reduced reproduction to overcompensation. Because plant...
