Epiphytes are strongly dependent on the conditions created by their host's traits and a certain degree of specificity is expected between them, even if these species are largely abundant in a series of tree hosts of a given ...

Disruptions in species interactions derived from forest fragmentation are a major driver of biodiversity declines. Atmospheric bromeliads, a group of extreme epiphytes in the Tillandsia genus, often thrive in anthropogenic ...

In a subtropical montane forest of north-western Argentina (27°S, 1000 m elevation), we analysed the effect of crown illumination, trunk diameter, foliar phenology and tree species identity as determinants of liana–host ...

Assessment of host infection and distribution patterns are crucial to understand the underling mechanisms that shape parasitic plant spread in natural ecosystems. However, such data remain scarce for mistletoes inhabiting ...

We propose the following conjecture: For every fixed alpha is an element of [0, 1/3), each graph of minimum degree at least (1 + alpha)k/2 and maximum degree at least 2(1 - alpha)k contains each tree with k edges as a ...

In a Neotropical montane environment of NW Argentina (22º S , 1800 m elevation) vascular epiphyte and climber communities were described in one ha of forest in order to assess the relationships between epiphyte and climber ...

The commensalistic interaction between vascular epiphytes and host trees is a type of biotic interaction that has been recently analysed with a network approach. This approach is useful to describe the network structure ...
