Background Given the exceptional diversity of orchids (26 000+ species), improving
strategies for the conservation of orchids will benefit a vast number of taxa. Furthermore, with …

Orchidaceae show remarkable diversity in pollination strategies, but how these strategies
vary globally is not entirely clear. To identify regions and taxa that are data-rich and lend …

The long‐term fate of populations experiencing disequilibrium conditions with their
environment will ultimately depend on how local colonization and extinction dynamics …

Abstract Background and Aims Populations of many epiphytes show a patchy distribution
where clusters of plants growing on individual trees are spatially separated and may thus …

Question: Do vascular epiphyte species have a metapopulation structure? What are the
qualitative and quantitative long‐term changes of the complete vascular epiphyte vegetation …

The ongoing destruction of old-growth forests puts tropical forest species under great
pressure because of the resulting habitat loss. A pre-requisite for the maintenance of a …

Abstract Background and Aims The evolution of interspecific reproductive barriers is crucial
to understanding species evolution. This study examines the contribution of transitions …

兰科植物种群动态研究中, 种群统计学分析能够很好地揭示植物个体在时空上的变化,
是研究种群动态的核心. 在自然生境中, 许多附生兰科植物更倾向于离散或斑块状分布 …

We explore phorophyte suitability for germination and establishment of the epiphytic orchid,
Psychilis kraenzlinii. We found that the orchid grows on a subset of the available tree …

Background and aims Orchids are known to be particularly sensitive to environmental
changes due to their narrow ranges of secondary successional habitats. Lack of data at the …
