The forest canopy is fundamentally important in biodiversity conservation and ecosystem
function. Cryptogamic epiphytes are dominant tree bole and canopy elements in temperate …

To design effective conservation strategies, the population biology of the target organism
needs to be well understood. In lichens, the population dynamics of the symbiotic organism …

Presence–absence data are used widely in analysis of wildlife–habitat relationships. Failure
to detect a species' presence in an occupied habitat patch is a common sampling problem …

We determine the spatial pattern of Aedes aegypti and the containers in which they develop
in two neighborhoods of the Amazonian city of Iquitos, Peru. Four variables were examined …

The goat willow is a short-living plant and has no severe threatening diseases in its natural
habitats. Pests are reported to result in economic loss only in biomass coppice plantations …

We studied the relative importance of local variables and dispersal for the occurrence and
colonisation of the epiphytic bryophytes Orthotricum speciosum (spore dispersed), and O …

Metapopulation dynamics have received much attention in population biology and
conservation. Most studies have dealt with species whose population turnover rate is much …

European aspen (Populus tremula L.) is a keystone species in boreal forests that are
dominated by coniferous tree species. Both living and dead aspen trees contribute …

Aim Lichen epiphytes are important for biodiversity conservation and are also widely applied
as environmental indicators. However, biogeographical and ecological knowledge …

By surveying and re-surveying 12 forest sites in southern Sweden for the epiphytic lichen
Lobaria pulmonaria with a 9-year interval, and measuring tree-related habitat quality …
