We describe and illustrate a new species of Quararibea Aubl. from Costa Rica. Quararibea reflexipetalaCascante, J. Sánchez-Gonz. & W. S. Alverson is distinguished by its pleated petals with strongly reflexed and coiled ...
Evaluating factors that predict the structure of a commensalistic epiphyte–phorophyte network
(2013)
A central issue in ecology is the understanding of the establishment of biotic interactions. We studied the factors that affect the assembly of the commensalistic interactions between vascular epiphytes and their host ...
Genetic Diversity and Spatial Genetic Structure of an Epiphytic Bromeliad in Costa Rican Montane Secondary Forest Patches
(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 ...
Pollination by nitidulid beetles in the hemi-epiphytic aroid Monstera lentii (Araceae: Monsteroideae)
(2017)
Among aroids (Araceae family) with bisexual flowers, the reproductive biology of the neotropical genus Monstera (Subfamily Monsteroideae) is misunderstood. Nothing is known about the reproductive phenology and the sparse ...
Association between rainfall seasonality and the flowering of epiphytic plants in a Neotropical montane forest
(2017)
The association between the reproductive phenology of epiphytic communities with environmental and ecological factors remains largely unexplored. Because epiphytes depend on environmental moisture, seasonal changes in ...
Sistemas reproductivos en bromelias epífitas del género Werauhia J.R. Grant (Bromeliaceae: Tillandsioideae): aseguramiento reproductivo y mecanismos de coexistencia reproductiva
(2021)
La auto-fertilización es un cambio evolutivo en los sistemas reproductivos sexuales de las plantas con flores que conlleva el surgimiento de auto-compatibilidad y la capacidad de auto-polinización autónoma. Este fenómeno ...
