Source height and contact with terrestrial soil drive transplanted epiphyte performance
Tropical vascular epiphytes, such as this orchid Peristeria pendula, performed worse when experimentally transplanted to new substrates in contact with terrestrial soil, versus substrates just above the soil surface. The results are some of the first empirical data supporting the epiphyte enemy escape hypothesis.

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Variation in leaf functional traits along environmental gradients can reveal how vascular epiphytes respond to broad‐ and small‐scale environmental gradients. Along elevational gradients, both temperature and precipitation likely play an important role as drivers of ...

Value of human‐modified forests for the conservation of canopy epiphytes
Although HMFs provide important refuge for many species, our results show that they do not provide suitable conditions for the maintenance of current or future canopy epiphyte communities. Our findings suggest that conserving large continuous old‐growth forests is the only viable conservation option for protecting most vascular epiphytes.

Directional changes over time in the species composition of tropical vascular epiphyte assemblages
Directionality in the temporal changes of epiphyte assemblages suggests that niche‐based mechanisms dominate these temporal changes. Host size over host identity is the most important environmental filter for epiphyte assemblages establishment. Tree Vectors Pack by Pixeden.com (https://www.freevector.com/trees‐illustrations). Abstract Understanding the

We analysed data from three censuses of epiphytes growing on Annona glabra trees along the shore of Barro Colorado Island, Panama, spanning 21 years. Our study shows that previously reported short‐term patterns of epiphyte community dynamics hold true in the long term.
