Macroevolution of the plant–hummingbird pollination system

Biological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 5, Page 1831-1847, October 2024.
ABSTRACT Plant–hummingbird interactions are considered a classic example of coevolution, a process in which mutually dependent species influence each other's evolution. Plants depend on hummingbirds for pollination, whereas hummingbirds rely on nectar for food.

Economic analysis of farming and wild collection of seaweeds in Ramanathapuram District, Tamil Nadu [PDF]

, 2017
The commercially important red alga Kappaphycus alvarezii is widely cultivated along Tamil Nadu coast. Apart from farming, wild collection of seaweed is also being practiced by fishers for their livelihoods. The present study on economics and constraints

Molecular responses of seaweeds to biotic interactions: A systematic review

Journal of Phycology, Volume 60, Issue 5, Page 1036-1057, October 2024.
Abstract Seaweed farming is the single largest aquaculture commodity with >30 million tonnes produced each year. Furthermore, the restoration of lost seaweed forests is gaining significant momentum, particularly for kelps in warming temperate areas. Whether in aquaculture settings, following restoration practices, or in the wild, all seaweeds undergo ...

Vascular epiphytes of the Atlantic Forest in the Sinos River basin, state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil: richness, floristic composition and community structure

Brazilian Journal of Biology
The Atlantic Forest, which has a vast epiphytic richness, is a priority area for preservation, listed as one of the five most important world hotspots. Vascular epiphyte richness, composition and community structure were studied in two fragments, one of ...

The past, present and future developments in mariculture in the coastal waters of mainland Tanzania

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 4, Issue 4, August 2024.
Marine coastal resources are crucial to Tanzania's socio‐economic development and are a lifeline for the livelihoods and incomes of coastal communities. By consolidating experiences from past and present mariculture initiatives, this study provides valuable guidance for decision‐making toward promoting sustainable mariculture that supports coastal ...

Vertebrate florivory of vascular epiphytes: the case of a bromeliad

Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2018
The avoidance of vertebrate herbivory is thought to be one of the possible drivers for the evolution of epiphytism. Scarce literature suggests that epiphyte herbivory is mainly related to insect attack on reproductive structures.

Morphological diversity of the velamen radicum in the genus Anthurium (Araceae)

Plant Biology, Volume 26, Issue 5, Page 679-690, August 2024.
Detailed morphological description of 89 species of Anthurium from the Araceae reveal nine velamen types, including two that are unique to Anthurium and not similar to any type found in Orchidaceae. Abstract Epiphytes develop anatomical features to improve efficiency of the uptake of water and nutrients, such as absorptive foliar scales or a velamen ...

Structure of an epiphytic hydroid community on Cystoseira at two sites of different wave exposure

Scientia Marina, 2000
Epiphytism is a strategy by which opportunistic species such as hydroids, escape the intense levels of competition in marine hard bottom communities.

Syncopation and synchrony: Phenological dynamics of Pyropia nereocystis (Bangiophyceae) in central California

Journal of Phycology, Volume 60, Issue 3, Page 710-723, June 2024.
Abstract Pyropia nereocystis is an annual northeastern Pacific‐bladed bangialean species whose macroscopic stage epiphytized the annual canopy forming bull kelp Nereocystis luetkeana. I examined three in situ facets of these epiphyte‐host dynamics in the central California region: (1) spatial and temporal variation in the presence of P.
