Biodiversity and spatial distribution of epiphytic ferns on Alsophila setosa Kaulf. (Cyatheaceae) caudices in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil

Brazilian Journal of Biology
The extractive exploitation of the tree fern Alsophila setosa Kaulf. alters forest formations and diminishes the availability of micro-habitat for epiphytes. A survey of epiphytic fern communities on A.

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

Speciation, dispersal and the build‐up of fern diversity in the American tropics

Ecography, Volume 2025, Issue 11, November 2025.
Understanding how the remarkable biodiversity of the American tropics developed has been a long‐standing question, yet knowledge gaps remain. Previous studies examined the roles of bioregions in shaping diversity patterns but often overlooked speciation, a critical driver of species richness, and insufficiently accounted for temporal changes in ...

Making the most of your pollinators: An epiphytic fig tree encourages its pollinators to roam between figs

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Ficus species are characterized by their unusual enclosed inflorescences (figs) and their relationship with obligate pollinator fig wasps (Agaonidae).

Co‐creating solutions to the hidden impacts of climate change on Canada's Pacific kelp forests

People and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 8, Page 1826-1839, August 2025.
Abstract Co‐designed research driven by the information needs of coastal communities can enhance social‐ecological resilience to climate change. On the Central Coast of British Columbia, Canada, the 2014–2015 marine heatwave triggered an outbreak of an encrusting bryozoan (Membranipora spp.) on giant kelp (Macrocystis tenuifolia), an ecologically ...

Spatio-Temporal Variation in Cyanobacteria and Epiphytic Algae of Thalassia testudinum in Two Localities of Southern Quintana Roo, Mexico

Diversity
The leaves of Thalassia testudinum provide an ideal substrate for the establishment of small-sized algae with different morphologies that are abundant and diverse. There are few studies on epiphytism in Mexico, and most of them are floristic lists.

Epiphytic ferns in swamp forest remnants of the coastal plain of southern Brazil: latitudinal effects on the plant community

Acta Botânica Brasílica
Community structure and spatial distribution of epiphytic ferns in swamp forest remnants along the coastal plain of the state of Rio Grande do Sul were analyzed. A total of 440 trees were sampled in fifty-seven 10 x 10 m plots.

A systematic review of marine macroalgal degradation: Toward a better understanding of macroalgal carbon sequestration potential

Journal of Phycology, Volume 61, Issue 3, Page 399-432, June 2025.
Abstract Although macroalgae are gaining recognition for their potential role in marine carbon sequestration, critical knowledge gaps related to the fate of macroalgal carbon limit our capacity to quantify rates of macroalgal carbon sequestration.

Identification of pollinators of lesser twayblade Neottia cordata with DNA barcoding reveals strong links with pine forest‐related fauna

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2025, Issue 3, March 2025.
Many European terrestrial orchids are in decline. To curb this negative trend and preserve remaining populations, more ecological knowledge is needed. Surprisingly little is known yet about the identity and efficiency of pollinators of lesser twayblade Neottia cordata, a small terrestrial orchid species associated with pine trees through joint ...
