Solanum clarum and S. morelliforme as novel model species for studies of epiphytism
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 The natural history of epiphytic plant species has been extensively studied. However, little is known about the physiology and genetics of epiphytism. This is due to difficulties associated with growing epiphytic plants and the lack of tools for genomics

Endophytic and Epiphytic Microbes as Sources of Bioactive Agents
Frontiers in Chemistry, 2015 Beginning with the report by Stierle and Strobel in 1993 on taxol(R) production by an endophytic fungus 1, it is possible that a number of the agents now used as leads to treatments of diseases in man, are not produced by the plant or invertebrate host ...

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Sinningia pampeana is a new rupicolous species from the rocky outcrops of the Pampa biome in southern Brazil and Uruguay. Morphological analyses based on herbarium material, field observations, and detailed illustrations support its recognition as a distinct species from Sinningia sellovii.

Inequalities in intraspecific plant–lemur interactions drive seed dispersal patterns
Oikos, EarlyView.Biotic interactions occur between individuals and accumulate to shape species‐level interaction structure across a community. Skewed interaction structures, where a few individuals are highly connected and most have few interactions, are increasingly identified at the individual‐level.

Habitat Suitability for Hoya spp. (Apocynaceae) in The Bodogol Conservation Area, West Java
Biosaintifika: Journal of Biology & Biology Education, 2019 Hoya is a tropical flowering plant that has great potential as an export commodity. It needs to be cultivated to ensure its sustainability in nature. Information about the suitable habitat of Hoya was not widely known yet. This study aimed to compare the

Oikos, EarlyView.Understanding the scales and mechanisms by which species composition interacts with ecosystem functions is critical for forecasting the effects of environmental perturbations on ecosystem services. However, the linkages between what regulates the ecosystem functions of dispersal‐capable networks of communities (metacommunities) and what regulates a ...

Living on the Edge: Variation in the Abundance and Demography of a Kelp Forest Epibiont
Diversity, 2019 The ecology of an epibiont may depend not only on the dynamics of its biogenic habitat but also on microclimate variation generated within aggregations of its host, a process called physical ecosystem engineering.

Fruit use and fruit processing by euphonias, specialized avian frugivores
Oikos, EarlyView.Euphonias (Neotropical passerines in the genera Euphonia and Chlorophonia) form the quintessential example of a specialized avian frugivore, combining a high reliance on fruit as food and the restriction of fruit taxa exploited. To understand their specialization, we explored the integration of fruit morphological and nutritional traits with their ...
