Tropical Montane Cloud Forests Have High Resilience to Five Years of Severe Soil Drought
A 5‐year throughfall exclusion experiment in a Peruvian tropical montane cloud forest reduced soil moisture by 69%, leading to lower photosynthetic inputs and autotrophic respiration but maintaining net primary productivity and carbon sink capacity. Trees responded through metabolic downregulation, reduced fruit production, increased wood density, and ...

Antioxidant Activity of Endophytic Bacteria isolated from (Pyrrosia piloselloides) (L) M.G. Price
Endophytic bacteria produced analogous secondary metabolites of their hosts. Similarly, the ability to generate antioxidants is not an exception. Dragon scales (Pyrrosia piloselloides), an epiphytic plant of the Polypodiaceae family, are frequently ...

Understanding how animals interact with their environment across life stages is key for conservation. In our long‐term study of the Blunt‐headed tree snake (Imantodes cenchoa) in the tropical rainforest of Los Tuxtlas, Mexico, we tracked over 240 individuals and found age‐related differences in environmental preferences.

The moist evergreen Afromontane forest (MEAF) in Ethiopia is characterized by unique species diversity and serves as the center of origin and diversity for Coffea arabica. A systematic review of MEAF in Ethiopia was conducted following the PRISMA 2020 protocol.

Patterns of ferns community assemblages in some Malaysian and Nigerian tropical forests
Research on fern ecology has gained attention in the last decade, yet there is a paucity of information on the comparison of ferns communities across continents.

Together Apart: Evaluating Lichen-Phorophyte Specificity in the Canarian Laurel Forest
The effects of host tree identity on epiphyte lichen communities are a controversial issue, as the results obtained in different forest environments studied are not consistent.

How Tropical Epiphytes at the Eden Project Contribute to Rainforest Canopy Science
Understanding the ecological patterns and ecosystem processes of tropical rainforest canopies is becoming increasingly urgent in the face of widespread deforestation. However, accessing rainforest canopies is far from simple, and performing manipulative

The relationships of the microsoroid ferns were studied using a DNA sequence-based phylogenetic approach. Nucleotide sequences for up to four chloroplast genome regions were assembled for 107 samples from 87 species. Microsoroids s.l. include six lineages of which two are species rich. The results indicate that several genera are not monophyletic (e.g.
