Extreme weather events, such as unusually hot or dry conditions, can cause death by
exceeding physiological limits, and so cause loss of population. Survival will depend on …

Given the dramatic loss of tropical forests and accelerating climate change, secondary forest
regeneration is increasingly recognised as being an important method for reversing losses …

Epiphytes are important for canopy dwelling organisms because they provide a cool and
moist microhabitat in the relatively hot and dry canopy. Here we examine whether epiphytic …

Abstract: Amphibians are among the most threatened vertebrates in the world and this is
also true for those inhabiting the Atlantic Forest hotspot, living in ecosystems that are highly …

Bromeliads constitute a good example of symbiosis with organisms that spend their entire
life cycle inside the plants, and often depend on them to breed. The bromeliads benefit from …

Aim Tropical forests are vertically complex, and offer unique niche opportunities in the form
of climate, habitat and resource gradients from ground to canopy. Rainforest species …

In tropical forests, epiphytes increase habitat complexity and provision services rare to
canopy environments, such as water retention, nutrient cycling, and microclimate refuge …

Bromeliads are widely recognized for their role as biodiversity amplifiers in the Neotropical
region. Some animal taxa are well known for their relationships with bromeliads, such as …

This study explores the feeding ecology, habitat use, and fecundity of Phyllodytes luteolus
inside bromeliads in the restinga of Regência (sandy coastal plain), Espírito Santo state …

We gathered the available information about the anurofauna in Brazilian sand coastal plains
(“restingas”) published since the 1966, which is the date of the first study we found that was …
