Epiphytes are hyper-diverse and one of the frequently undervalued life forms in plant surveys biodiversity inventories. Atlantic Forest, most endangered ecosystems world, have high endemism radiated recently Pliocene. We aimed to (1) compile an extensive Forest data set on vascular, non-vascular plants (including hemiepiphytes), lichen epiphyte species occurrence abundance; (2) describe distribution order indicate future sampling efforts. Our work presents first with information abundance...
Abstract Question How do soil fertility, neighbourhood host tree composition and bark characteristics influence community attributes of vascular epiphytes in a central Amazonian forest? Location Adolpho Ducke Forest Reserve, Amazonas, Brazil. Methods The abundances all species were recorded from 300 trees with DBH >30 cm. Phorophytes distributed among 30 sample plots established lowland, slope upland habitats, classified into five types (rough, peeling, fissured, smooth, rugose)....
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...
Epiphytes are still an understudied plant group in Amazonia. The aim of this study was to identify distributional patterns and conservation priorities for vascular epiphyte assemblages (VEA) across We compiled the largest Amazonian plot database date, through a multinational collaborative effort 22 researchers 32 field sites located four countries – Epiphyte Network (AEN). addressed following continental-scale questions by utilizing AEN comprising 96,448 individuals, belonging 518 taxa,...
Este trabalho tem como objetivo descrever a morfologia foliar e realizar o reconhecimento taxonô- mico de dez impressões foliares angiospermas coletadas em afloramento da Formação Rio Madeira na área abrangência do Aproveitamento Hidrelétrico (AHE) Jirau, resgatadas pela equipe Programa Investiga- ção, Salvamento Monitoramento Paleontológico. Devido à preservação com base descrição morfológica, os espécimes foram identificados até nível gênero. Todos mostram caracteres que indicam sua...
ABSTRACT Understorey herbs form a diverse and understudied plant assemblage in tropical forests. Although several studies research teams have long been dedicated to the study of this conspicuous vegetation component Amazonia, no effort unify data has undertaken date. In contrast trees other life forms for which major compilations already exist, unified database is still lacking. Part problem defining what herb how effectively sample assemblages. article, we describe HERBase, an exhaustive...
Understanding the mechanisms driving community assembly has been a major focus of ecological research for nearly century, yet little is known about these in commensal communities, particularly with respect to their historical/evolutionary components. Here, we use large-scale dataset 4,440 vascular plant species explore relationship between evolutionary distinctiveness (ED) (as measured by 'species history' (SEH)) host and phylogenetic diversity (PD) associated epiphyte species. Although...
