1 Coley, Phyllis D.Herbivory and defensive characteristics of tree species in a lowland tropical forestRate 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 forest1983
2 Coley, Phyllis D.Intraspecific variation in herbivory on two tropical tree speciesLevels of herbivory on young and mature leaves were determined for two tree species, Trichilia cipo (Meliaceae) and Cecropia insignis (Moraceae), in a lowland rain forest of Panama. Saplings of both species were studied in light gaps, and in addition, Trichilia was studied in the understory.Cecropia insignis; Trichilia cipo; Herbivory; Intraspecific variation; Panama; Temporal distribution; Treefall gaps; Tropical forest; Understory1983
