Endemism Centres of the Five Richest Vascular Epiphyte Families in the Neotropics

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 1, Page 80-91, January 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Endemic species, characterised by limited geographic ranges, face a high risk of extinction. The neotropical region harbours diverse ecosystems and a substantial number of endemic species, thus identifying areas of high endemism is crucial for protecting unique and threatened species and ecosystems.

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.

Short term effects of irradiance on the growth of Pterocladiella capillacea (Gelidiales, Rhodophyta) [PDF]

, 2019
Pterocladiella capillacea has been economically exploited for agar extraction in the Azores for many years. Harvesting dropped to a full stop in the early 1990s due to a population collapse, but restarted in 2013.

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 ...

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.

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.
