Dispersal limitation in epiphytic bromeliad communities in a Costa Rican fragmented montane landscape
Cascante Marín, Alfredo; von Meijenfeldt, N.; de Leeuw, Hanneke M. H.; Wolf, Jan H. D.; Oostermeijer, J. Gerard B.; Den Nijs, Joannes C. M. (2009)Transformation of tropical forests is likely to affect seed-dispersal patterns and influence the composition of epiphytic plant communities in human-altered habitats. We tested this hypothesis by carrying out a comparative ... -
Epiphytic bromeliad communities in secondary and mature forest in a tropical premontane area
Cascante Marín, Alfredo; Wolf, Jan H. D.; Oostermeijer, J. Gerard B.; Den Nijs, Joannes C. M.; Sanahuja Rivera, Oscar; Durán Apuy, Alejandro Alberto (2006)We analyzed the differences in species richness, community composition, population structure and within-tree location of epiphytic bromeliads in contiguous secondary and mature forests in a premontane area in Costa Rica. ... -
Establishment of Epiphytic Bromeliads in Successional Tropical Premontane Forests in Costa Rica
Cascante Marín, Alfredo; Wolf, Jan H. D.; Oostermeijer, J. Gerard B.; Den Nijs, Joannes C. M. (2008)Plant community composition is the combined result of species‐specific competitive abilities and the availability of propagules. For epiphytic plants, current hypotheses consider that dispersal‐related factors are most ... -
Genetic Diversity and Spatial Genetic Structure of an Epiphytic Bromeliad in Costa Rican Montane Secondary Forest Patches
Cascante Marín, Alfredo; Oostermeijer, J. Gerard B.; Wolf, Jan H. D.; Fuchs Castillo, Eric J. (2014)Information on genetic variation and its distribution in tropical plant populations relies mainly on studies of ground‐rooted species, while genetic information of epiphytic plants is still limited. Particularly, the effect ... -
Reproductive Biology of the Epiphytic Bromeliad Werauhia gladioliflora in a Premontane Tropical Forest
Cascante Marín, Alfredo; Oostermeijer, J. Gerard B.; Wolf, Jan H. D.; Den Nijs, Joannes C. M. (2005)The floral phenology, fruit and seed production, and self-compatibility of Werauhia gladioliflora, an epiphytic bromeliad with a wide distribution, were studied in a premontane forest in the Monteverde area in Costa Rica. ... -
Reproductive Strategies and Colonizing Ability of Two Sympatric Epiphytic Bromeliads in a Tropical Premontane Area
Cascante Marín, Alfredo; De Jong, Maaike; Borg, Ethan D.; Oostermeijer, J. Gerard B.; Wolf, Jan H. D.; Den Nijs, Joannes C. M. (2006)Predispersal characteristics that affect the reproductive success in plants may influence their colonizing ability. We evaluated this hypothesis in two sympatric epiphytic bromeliads in Costa Rica, Guzmania monostachia and ... -
Wasp florivory decreases reproductive success in an epiphytic bromeliad
Cascante Marín, Alfredo; Wolf, Jan H. D.; Oostermeijer, J. Gerard B. (2009)Flower predation or florivory may alter the sexual expression, floral display, and reduce the reproductive success in plants. In this article, we estimated the effect of florivory on the reproductive success of the epiphytic ...
