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

Environmentally driven extinction and opportunistic origination explain fern diversification patterns. [PDF]

, 2017
Combining palaeontological and neontological data offers a unique opportunity to investigate the relative roles of biotic and abiotic controls of species diversification, and the importance of origination versus extinction in driving evolutionary ...

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.

Vascular epiphytes in the temperate zones-a review [PDF]

, 2018
Vascular epiphytes are typically associated with tropical rainforests, whereas their occurrence in temperate forests is little appreciated. This review summarises the available information on epiphytism in the temperate zones (> 23.5 latitude), which has

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.

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 ...

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.
