Abstract Vascular epiphytes are a diverse and conspicuous component of biodiversity in tropical subtropical forests. Yet, the patterns drivers epiphyte assemblages poorly studied comparison with soil‐rooted plants. Current knowledge about diversity mainly stems from local studies or floristic inventories, but this information has not yet been integrated to allow better understanding large‐scale distribution patterns. EpIG‐DB, first database on at continental scale, resulted an exhaustive...
ABSTRACT Aim Endemic species, characterised by limited geographic ranges, face a high risk of extinction. The neotropical region harbours diverse ecosystems and substantial number endemic thus identifying areas endemism is crucial for protecting unique threatened species ecosystems. Vascular epiphytes—nonparasitic plants that grow on other without contact with the soil—exhibit remarkable diversity in neotropics, 63% global total ca. 31,000 epiphyte found this region. This study aims to...
Abstract The Neotropical realm hosts some of the Earth’s most species-rich biodiversity hotspots, with vascular epiphytes significantly contributing to this diversity. However, many regions Neotropics where epiphytic species restricted distribution are reported coincide threatened ecosystems, such as tropical montane cloud forest. Moreover, may be especially vulnerable land use and climate change impacts due their dependence on host trees. We assessed conservation status in for families that...
Abstract The IUCN Red List assessments of Colombian flora significantly impact national public policy by informing conservation strategies and prioritizing areas for conservation. However, little is known about the distribution, status, or evolutionary history most epiphytes, which prevents development aimed at their protection. In this article, we present results extinction risk 290 species vascular epiphyte from Colombia, including 81 country endemics, using geographic occurrences obtained...
