Trait plasticity enables trees and shrubs to live as epiphytes throughout the coast redwood canopy

Ecosphere
The radiation of plants into epiphytic niches has largely been studied by comparing closely related taxa that contain both epiphytic and terrestrial species.

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

Modern concepts of ecological specialization of Orchidaceae Juss. family

Біологічні студії, 2011
The review provides the results of publications devoted to ecological characteristics of orchids, particularly to epiphytism, structural and functional adaptations related with this life form, as well as to relationship of orchids with mycorrhizal fungi.

Floristic study of benthic marine algae from ejido San Jose, Baja California, Mexico

Ciencias Marinas, 1994
A study on benthic marine algae collected from four locations in Ejido San José, Baja California, Mexico is presented. The floristic list includes information on the reproductive stage of the species present in the study area, sea level, substrate and ...

Contribución del epifitismo accidental a la distribución de especies de plantas vasculares en un bosque templado lluvioso

Gayana: Botanica, 2017
In a Valdivian forest stand, we identified vascular plant species occurring as accidental epiphytes, and we determined the contribution of accidental epiphytism on their local abundance.

Using large language models to extract plant functional traits from unstructured text. [PDF]

Appl Plant Sci
Abstract Premise Functional plant ecology seeks to understand how functional traits govern species distributions, community assembly, and ecosystem functions. While global trait datasets have advanced the field, substantial gaps remain, and extracting trait information from text in books, research articles, and online sources via machine learning ...

Causes of delayed angiosperm diversification: The photosynthetic revolution, increased opportunity costs of anti-herbivore defenses, selection for qualitative toxins, and acceleration of plant-herbivore coevolution. [PDF]

Am J Bot
Abstract Why did it take so long for angiosperms to diversify after they arose? Here I consider the indirect but potentially crucial impact of the “photosynthetic revolution” on plant–herbivore coevolution. Increased vein density in fossil leaves implies a doubling in photosynthesis 125–100 million years ago.

Phylogenomics, ecomorphological evolution, and historical biogeography in Deuterocohnia (Bromeliaceae: Pitcairnioideae). [PDF]

Am J Bot
Abstract Premise Species of Deuterocohnia (17 spp.) show extraordinary variation in elevation (0–3900 m a.s.l.) and growth forms, and many have narrow geographic distributions in the west‐central Andes and the Peru‐Chile coast. Previous research using few plastid and nuclear loci failed to produce well‐resolved or supported phylogenies.

Recruitment of intertidal kelps Hedophyllum sessile and Alaria marginata (Laminariales) to articulated and crustose coralline algal species. [PDF]

J Phycol
Abstract Kelps and coralline algae are important primary producers and habitat‐builders in rocky intertidal ecosystems. On wave‐exposed shores along the west coast of North America, Hedophyllum sessile and Alaria marginata are two dominant kelp species with juveniles that often occur at a higher density on articulated corallines than other available ...
