Utilization of epiphytes by birds in a Brazilian Atlantic Forest

, 2008
Epiphytes constitute a great part of the vegetation biomass in Neotropical forests, offering a large variety of resources to birds. Despite their structural and ecological importance, few studies investigated the use of epiphytes by birds in the ...

Nitrogen transfer from nitrogen-fixing lichen to co-occurring epiphytes in the subtropical forests of Yunnan

Guangxi Zhiwu
Acquiring sufficient nitrogen(N)to meet requirements for growth is a major challenge for epiphytes living in nutrient-poor canopy habitats. Cyanolichens(lichens that contain cyanobacterial symbionts)can function as the primary participants in biological ...

Orchid genome evolution and trait innovation

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Orchids became one of the world's most diverse plant groups through genome‐driven innovations, unique relationships with fungi and pollinators, and remarkable adaptability. This review explains the origins of orchids and the evolution of their distinctive life forms, flowers, and ecological strategies and highlights promising directions for future ...

Quantifying the abundance of four large epiphytic fern species in remnant complex notophyll vine forest on the Atherton Tableland, north Queensland, Australia

, 2013
Epiphytes are generally considered rare in complex forests on the western edge of the Atherton Tablelands, north Queensland. This assertion is based on comparisons with wetter forests in the Wet Tropics bioregion, but is of limited use in restoration ...

Complete organellar genomes of Cystophora brownii: Insights into mitochondrial and plastid structure and evolution in brown algae

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Cystophora (order Fucales) is one of the most diverse genera of habitat‐forming brown algae and is endemic to temperate reefs of Australia and New Zealand. Species in this genus form complex habitat structures that support diverse marine communities and contribute to coastal productivity. However, Cystophora spp.

Pittosporum kirkii: Autecology of an endemic shrub epiphyte

, 2012
This research investigated the autecology of the New Zealand endemic shrub epiphyte Pittosporum kirkii (Pittosporaceae). Pittosporum kirkii most frequently displays an epiphytic lifestyle, perched amongst nest epiphytes in the canopies of emergent or ...

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 ...

Holdfast adhesion in the kelp Alaria marginata: Cell wall polysaccharides and phenolics

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Adhesion is a critical process in the survival of seaweeds, especially in wave‐swept environments. Kelp (Laminariales) sporophytes secrete adhesives from specialized rhizoid cells to anchor themselves to the substrate and withstand immense forces applied by waves.

Benthic macroalgae of Shark Bay, Western Australia

, 1990
One hundred and sixty one taxa of benthic macro-algae are reported from Shark Bay, Western Australia, growing either on subtidal rock platforms, on the extensive sandflats that dominate the bay, or as epiphytes on seagrasses and other algae.
