Structure of the epiphyte community in a tropical montane forest in SW China. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Vascular epiphytes are an understudied and particularly important component of tropical forest ecosystems. However, owing to the difficulties of access, little is known about the properties of epiphyte-host tree communities and the factors structuring ...

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021 Epiphytes are one of the most diversified plant life forms, whose species richness peaks in the tropics and subtropics. Here we examined vertical distribution metrics (i.e., number of epiphyte individuals and epiphyte species richness) of vascular ...

How Epiphytic Are Filmy Ferns? A Semi-Quantitative Approach
Diversity, 2023 Similar to plants in many other families, members of the Hymenophyllaceae use numerous substrates for growth, e.g., soil, rocks or tree bark. However, substrate preference does not only differ among species but can also vary among members of the same ...

Local competition and metapopulation processes drive long-term seagrass-epiphyte population dynamics [PDF]
, 2013 It is well known that ecological processes such as population regulation and natural enemy interactions potentially occur over a range of spatial scales, and there is a substantial body of literature developing theoretical understanding of the interplay ...

CO2 and nutrient-driven changes across multiple levels of organization in zostera noltii ecosystems [PDF]
, 2014 Increasing evidence emphasizes that the effects of human impacts on ecosystems must be investigated using designs that incorporate the responses across levels of biological organization as well as the effects of multiple stressors.

Vascular Epiphyte Diversity Differs with Host Crown Zone and Diameter, but Not Orientation in a Tropical Cloud Forest. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Vascular epiphytes are important components of biological diversity in tropical forests. We measured the species richness and abundance of vascular epiphytes along four vertical crown zones and five horizontal orientations on 376 trees, as well as the ...

Variation in a host-epiphyte relationship along a wave exposure gradient [PDF]
, 1991 The red alga Polysiphonia lanosa (L ) Tandy is an obligate epiphyte that primarily occurs on the fucoid brown algal basiphyte Ascophyllum nodosum (L) Le Jolis In the present study we examine how epiphytic interactions between P lanosa and A nodosum vary ...
