Aim Understanding patterns of tropical plant diversity and their vulnerability to
anthropogenic disturbance at different spatial scales remains a great challenge in ecology …

Questions How do species richness and composition of fern assemblages change with
elevation and, within elevational belts, in differently impacted forest habitats? Is there a …

Aim To assess the range size patterns of ferns and lycophytes along elevational gradients at
different latitudes in an ecographical transition zone and search for predictors of range size …

Terrestrial herbs are important elements of tropical forests; however, there is a lack of
research on their diversity patterns and how they respond to different intensities of forest …

Question Land‐use change and intensification are currently the most pervasive threats to
tropical biodiversity. Yet, their effects on biodiversity change with elevation are unknown …

Deforestation and fragmentation are threats to the conservation of species and have
consequences for ecosystem functions. The focus of this study was to elucidate forest cover …

ALRUTZ, Martina et al. Forest structural parameters and aboveground biomass in old-
growth and secondary forests along an elevational gradient in Mexico. Bot. sci [online] …

Similar to plants in many other families, members of the Hymenophyllaceae use numerous
substrates for growth, eg, soil, rocks or tree bark. However, substrate preference does not …

Variation in leaf functional traits along environmental gradients can reveal how vascular
epiphytes respond to broad‐and small‐scale environmental gradients. Along elevational …

The transition zone from the tropics to the subtropics in Mexico is an outstanding and poorly
explored area of biotic overlap, and as such very interesting to evaluate how species …
