TL;DR: TRY as discussed by the authors is a global database of plant traits, including morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants and their organs, which can be used for a wide range of research from evolutionary biology, community and functional ecology to biogeography.
Journal ArticleDOI
Costs of Defense and a Test of the Carbon-Nutrient Balance and Growth-Differentiation Balance Hypotheses for Two Co-Occurring Classes of Plant Defense
TL;DR: Contrary to expectations based on the two defense hypotheses, trade-offs were found between defenses and photosynthesis, indicating that studies of plant defenses should include direct measures of physiological responses.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Susceptibility of Southeastern Amazon Forests to Fire: Insights from a Large-Scale Burn Experiment

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the major insights from the longest (more than 10 years) and largest (150-hectare) experimental burn in Amazon forests and discuss the effect of repeated, severe, or combined fires and droughts on tropical forests.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ontogenetic differences of herbivory on woody and herbaceous plants: a meta-analysis demonstrating unique effects of herbivory on the young and the old, the slow and the fast
TL;DR: It is concluded that different plant groups optimize their defense investments in unique ways, supporting the plant–age hypothesis and the growth–differentiation balance hypothesis, and partially support the continuum of an ontogenetic response model.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This Review outlines important theoretical frameworks for studying chemical ecology and the steps by which hypotheses on insect–phytochemical interactions can be advanced using current methodologies and statistical approaches, with a focus on chemically mediated plant–insect interactions.
