Ant-gardens: a specialized ant-epiphyte mutualism capable of facing the effects of climate change
It is suggested that specialized mutualisms are more vulnerable to climate change. Ant-gardens (AGs) are a complex and specialized mutualistic system...

Functional effects of Polysiphonia sp. epiphytism on the farmed Kappaphycus alvarezii (Doty) Liao: Competition for the resource, parasitism or both?
Seaweed farming for the production of carrageenan is a growing economic activity. Like everywhere in the marine environment, farmed algae such as Kappa...

Bark traits affect epiphytic bryophyte community assembly in a temperate forest
Bark traits of trees often serve as a key factor determining the community structure of epiphytes. However, the extent to which barks modulate the...
