Epiphyte metapopulation dynamics are explained by species traits, connectivity, and patch dynamics [PDF]

, 2012
The colonization-extinction dynamics of many species are affected by the dynamics of their patches. For increasing our understanding of the metapopulation dynamics of sessile species confined to dynamic patches, we fitted a Bayesian incidence function ...

Towards a Just Coastal Transition: The Mixed Success of Livelihood Diversification and ‘Bouncing Back’ Among Seaweed Farmers in Sorsogon Province, the Philippines

Asia Pacific Viewpoint, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The need to integrate localised settings of coastal communities within its wider marine and landscapes calls to provide contextualised assessments. Drawing upon the ambition of the Philippines to identify opportunities for enhancing coastal livelihoods, the potential of seaweed farming accruing to high productivity in many of its regions is ...

Eighty years of food-web response to interannual variation in discharge recorded in river diatom frustules from an ocean sediment core. [PDF]

, 2017
Little is known about the importance of food-web processes as controls of river primary production due to the paucity of both long-term studies and of depositional environments which would allow retrospective fossil analysis.

Drought resistance does not explain epiphytic abundance of accidental epiphytes

Plant Ecology & Diversity, 2020
Accidental epiphytism is common among vascular plants in forest ecosystems around the globe. A frequent observation in surveys of accidental epiphytes is the occurrence of few species with high epiphytic abundance, while most co-occurring terrestrial species are rarely found as epiphytes. Based on the general assumption that water is the major limiting

Informing spatial conservation prioritization with species’ traits

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract New Guinea, the most botanically diverse island on the planet, is the location for one of the boldest conservation initiatives. The Manokwari Declaration aims to achieve 70% conservation designation for the Bird's Head Peninsula. This is 40% higher than the 2022 Global Biodiversity Framework target.

Differences in characteristics between naturalized threatened plants and other threatened plants

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Many non‐native plant species introduced by humans have become naturalized. At the same time many species are threatened in their native range. However, the number of plant species threatened in their native range that are naturalized elsewhere remains unknown.

Branchfall as a Demographic Filter for Epiphyte Communities: Lessons from Forest Floor-Based Sampling.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Local variation in the abundance and richness of vascular epiphytes is often attributed to environmental characteristics such as substrate and microclimate. Less is known, however, about the impacts of tree and branch turnover on epiphyte communities. To
