Islands in the middle of the forest: size, distance and tree structure drive vascular epiphytes composition in Amazonia white-sand ecosystems
Environmental factors and structural characteristics associated with tree communities influence patterns of diversity, and distribution of...

Habitat fragmentation effects on vascular epiphytes diversity in Kafa biosphere reserve and nearby coffee agroecosystem, southwestern Ethiopia
Epiphytes colonize canopy trees, provide substantial ecosystem services in production and nutrient cycling, contribute as energy sources, shelter and...

Effects of Leaf Morphological and Chemical Properties on the Population Sizes of Epiphytes
To explore the main factors affecting the distribution of microbes on leaf surfaces, the relationship between population sizes of epiphytes and the...

GBIF information is not enough: national database improves the inventory completeness of Amazonian epiphytes
Distribution data sharing in global databases (e.g. GBIF) allowed the knowledge synthesis in several biodiversity areas. However, their Wallacean...

Growing micropropagated Kappaphycus alvarezii and mitigating ice-ice disease and the incidence of macro-epiphytes using an extract of the brown alga Ascophyllum nodosum at three different seeding techniques
A phyco-biostimulant from the brown alga Ascophyllum nodosum has been widely used in agricultural crops for decades. However, it was recently...

Interaction between epiphytic chemical allelopathy and ant-pruning determining the composition of Amazonian ant-garden epiphytes
In Ant-gardens, ants build nests with organic materials and take specific seeds of some species of epiphytes which germinate. In this mutualistic...

Phytogeographic Meta-Analysis of the Vascular Epiphytes in the Neotropical Region
The Neotropical Region (NR) is one of the areas with the most plant diversity globally, and its richness of vascular epiphyte (VE) species is higher...
