DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4635
Abstract: Abstract Aim Habitat reduction in fragmented landscapes provides an opportunity to study the biogeographic patterns that drive changes in diversity in poorly studied metacommunities. In this study, colonization–extinction dynamics were indirectly evaluated through the analysis… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10531-021-02150-6
Abstract: Mapping diversity patterns is important to clarify its causes and is essential information for conservation policies. We map the distribution of vascular epiphytes from the Southern block of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest (SBAF) to understand… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2745.13802
Abstract: Plant functional traits impact the fitness and environmental niche of plants. Major plant functional types have been characterized by their trait spectrum, and the environmental and phylogenetic imprints on traits have advanced several ecological fields.… read more here.

DOI: 10.15446/abc.v26n2.83473
Abstract: The phenology of vascular epiphytes, which represent account for about 10 % of the world’s flowering plants and perform important ecological functions, has been just partially explored. Since phenology is a key tool for the… read more here.

DOI: 10.4257/oeco.2020.2402.08
Abstract: Vascular epiphytes (VE) are among the most threatened group of plants due to the extraction of trees (phorophytes). Yet, surveys and ecological information on vascular epiphytes are rather scarce particularly in wetlands. To understand the… read more here.
