Crown shyness is a phenomenon where the crowns of trees don't touch each other, resulting in a forest canopy with distinct gaps.

- One theory suggests that tall, slender trees exhibit this behavior to prevent damage during strong winds.
- Another theory posits that it helps in preventing the spread of certain insects known as insect miners.
