Local competition and metapopulation processes drive long-term seagrass-epiphyte population dynamics [PDF]

, 2013
It is well known that ecological processes such as population regulation and natural enemy interactions potentially occur over a range of spatial scales, and there is a substantial body of literature developing theoretical understanding of the interplay ...

RARE TERRESTRIAL ORCHIDS ON MBEYA PEAK, SOUTHERN TANZANIA

Journal of East African Natural History, 2005
Disa walteri, Satyrium aberrans, S. comptum and S. johnsonii are rare terrestrial orchids that co-occur and flower around the same time in southern Tanzania. We found the first three of these species on Mbeya Peak in March 2005, about 45 years after they were last recorded by botanists and present the first illustration of D.

Height and phytotelm size affect the invertebrate communities of epiphytic bromeliads in the Amazon rainforest

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 221-234, April 2026.
The height at which epiphytic bromeliads are found affects the invertebrate community composition within them. The size of epiphytic bromeliads is positively correlated with species richness of both aquatic and terrestrial invertebrates. Whether bromeliads were found in primary or secondary forest did not have a significant effect on the community of ...

Homogenisation of Vegetation in Irish Semi‐Natural Grasslands

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
A re‐survey of 12 Irish grassland sites revealed a decrease in species number and an apparent shift towards homogeneity of species diversity over the last 12–15 years. This raises concerns about management and species diversity/conservation. ABSTRACT Grasslands represent an important source of vegetative diversity and provide a range of important ...

Phylogeny and Biogeography of Calanthe Shed New Light on Alpine Origin and Radiation History of Calanthe Alliance

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Using nrITS, plastome, and single‐copy SNP data, we resolved the phylogeny of the Calanthe alliance, which originated in the late Oligocene. Its diversification process followed a two‐step pattern: first the warmest Cenozoic interval and Himalayan uplift drove the formation of three major lineages, then sustained Miocene cooling shaped further ...
