 | Coley, Phyllis D. | Growth-defense trade-off and habitat specialization by plants in Amazonian forests | Tropical forests include a diversity of habitats, which has led to specialization in plants. Near Iquitos, in the Peruvian Amazon, nutrient-rich clay forests surround nutrient-poor white-sand forests, each harboring a unique composition of habitat specialist trees. We tested the hypothesis that t... | Amazon; Ecological gradient; Growth-defense trade-off; Habitat specialization; Herbivory; Phenolics; Phylogenetic control; Rainforest; Reciprocal-transplant experiment; Terpenes; Tropical trees | 2006 |

 | Coley, Phyllis D. | Herbivory and defensive characteristics of tree species in a lowland tropical forest | Rate of herbivory and defensive characteristics of young and mature leaves were measured for saplings of 46 canopy tree species in a lowland tropical rain forest (Barro Colorado Island, Panama). Grazing rates were determined in the field for sample periods in the early wet, late wet, and dry seasons... | Fiber; Herbivory; Life history; Panama; Phenolics; Plant growth; Spatial distribution; Tannins; Temporal distribution; Treefall gaps; Tropical forest | 1983 |
