The current knowledge of the physiological ecology of vascular epiphytes is reviewed here
with an emphasis on the most recent literature. It is argued that by far the most relevant …

Epiphytic angiosperms represent ca. 10% of the world's flowering plants and are key
elements in tropical forests. Here we synthesize the available literature on their population …

Estudos com epífitos vasculares no Brasil normalmente não consideram árvores isoladas
em áreas antropizadas, as quais permitem o estabelecimento e preservação de uma porção …

Aim We aim to assess regional patterns in the distribution and species richness of vascular
epiphytes with an emphasis on forests that differ in altitude and the amount of rainfall …

Plant functional traits impact the fitness and environmental niche of plants. Major plant
functional types have been characterized by their trait spectrum, and the environmental and …

We conducted a survey of the epiphyte flora growing on the stilt palm Socratea exorrhiza in
a primary lowland rain forest in Panama by means of a canopy crane. For each palm in a 0.9 …

O presente estudo teve como objetivo caracterizar as alturas preferenciais de distribuição
das bromélias em quatro estádios sucessionais (capoeirinha, capoeira, capoeirão e floresta …

Background and Aims A possible role of host tree identity in the structuring of vascular
epiphyte communities has attracted scientific attention for decades. Specifically, it has been …

Background and Aims Seeds of epiphytes must land on branches with suitable substrates
and microclimates to germinate and for the resulting seedlings to survive. It is important to …

Epiphyte diversity as well as distribution and composition of epiphytic biomass was
investigated in two lowland and two montane rain forests in Ecuador. Species numbers of …
