DESCRIPTION:Relationships between functional traits and growth rates can pr
 ovide insight into the functional constraints and trade-offs underlying li
 fe-history strategies of tropical tree species. However\, tree growth in t
 he tropics has rarely been measured at the species level\, and species’ di
 fferences in growth strategies remain poorly understood. Only recently\, l
 ong-term permanent plots are providing information to analyze growth rates
  as well as their response to light availability and tree size across enti
 re diverse tree communities comprising hundreds of tree species\, many of 
 them rare. In this talk\, I will first demonstrate how hierarchical Bayesi
 an models can be used to quantify species’ differences in growth strategie
 s while accounting for several sources of uncertainty inherent in ecologic
 al data. Then\, I will present a predictive model which allows estimation 
 of growth characteristics from a few easily measurable functional traits o
 f the species.\n
