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 ...

Adaptations of orchid roots to epiphytism [PDF]

, 2018
The evolutionary success of orchids is to a large extent driven by the ability to colonize epiphytic habitats. This ability is based on a number of adaptations at different levels, and the adaptive features of aerial roots can play a key role because the

The role of epiphytism in architecture and evolutionary constraint within mycorrhizal networks of tropical orchids

, 2012
International audienceCharacterizing the architecture of bipartite networks is increasingly used as a framework to study biotic interactions within their ecological context and to assess the extent to which evolutionary constraint shape them.

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).

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.

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.

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.

The extent of grazing release from epiphytism for Sargassum muticum (Phaeophyceae) within the invaded range

, 2009
The overall biotic pressure on a newly introduced species may be less than that experienced within its native range, facilitating invasion. The brown alga Sargassum muticum (Yendo) Fensholt is a conspicuous and successful invasive species originally from
