Aim To document the elevational pattern of epiphyte species richness at the local scale in
the tropical Andes with a consistent methodology. Location The northern Bolivian Andes at …

We studied species richness, composition, and vertical distribution of vascular epiphytes at
two sites in the Bolivian Andes. To account for the epiphyte flora on understory trees …

Aim Although vascular epiphytes are important components of species richness and
complexity of Neotropical forests, vascular epiphytes are under‐represented in large scale …

Aim Epiphytes contribute up to 30% to the number of vascular plant species in certain global
biodiversity hotspots, eg the Ecuadorian Andes. However, their large scale diversity patterns …

To study the impact of deforestation on vascular epiphyte diversity, we compared species
richness in plots in primary forest and adjacent 15-year-old fallows in two different sites in …

We studied species richness and community composition as well as the vertical distribution
of ferns and lycophytes in three forest types along an elevational gradient in the region of …

The lowland rainforests of the Amazon basin harbor some of the most species-rich reptile
communities on Earth. However, there is considerable heterogeneity among climatically …

En los Andes y por encima de 1.000 m de altitud se ha registrado un total de 24 géneros y
110 especies de palmeras, que significan el 37% y 15%, respectivamente de la riqueza total …

La diversidad de epífitas vasculares en el bosque natural y barbechos adyacentes de hasta
15 años fue estudiada en tres localidades diferentes en los Yungas de Bolivia-en bosque …

En escala local, la alta diversidad de epífitas vasculares en bosques montanos
neotropicales ha sido explicada por que logran estratificar verticalmente al dosel y tienen …
