“On a tree”, “terrestrial”, or “on the rocks”? Habit diversity in the megadiverse genus Peperomia
Plant Biology, EarlyView.The plasticity of a large proportion of Peperomia species to occupy multiple types of microhabitats is not well documented due to the typically rigid categorization of habitat use. Therefore, the numerical approach presented is methodologically innovative to advance ecological data integration to provide a more realistic visualization of the habitat ...
