Genetic diversity and reproductive biology of the dioecious and epiphytic bromeliad Aechmea mariae-reginae (Bromeliaceae) in Costa Rica: implications for its conservation
(2019)
Ecological traits and pollination mode associated with dioecious sexual expression in plants are likely to influence
their reproductive success and levels of genetic diversity. Dioecy is an uncommon condition in Bromeliaceae. ...
Neither insects nor wind: ambophily in dioecious Chamaedorea palms (Arecaceae)
(2014)
Pollination of Neotropical dioecious trees is commonly related to generalist insects. Similar data for non‐tree species with separated genders are inconclusive. Recent studies on pollination of dioecious Chamaedorea palms ...
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 ...
Complex phylogeographic patterns indicate Central American origin of two widespread Mesoamerican Quercus (Fagaceae) species
(2017)
The northern Neotropical region is characterized by a heterogeneous geological and climatic history. Recent studies have shown contrasting patterns regarding the role of geographic elements as barriers that could have ...
Plantas del Dosel del Bosque: Guía para la identificación de géneros de plantas epífitas con flores de Costa Rica
(2020-01-31)
Plantas del Dosel del Bosque es una guía botánica que ofrece información sobre las “plantas epífitas”, que son aquellas plantas que se han especializado en vivir sobre otras plantas y se han independizado de las condiciones ...
Bombacaceae
(2020)
Como parte del proyecto del Manual de Plantas de Costa Rica, la primera obra completa sobre las plantas vasculares con flores del país, se describen las 29 especies y 10 géneros de plantas pertenecientes a la familia ...
Diversidad y vulnerabilidad de la flora orquideológica de un bosque montano nuboso del Valle Central de Costa Rica
(2019)
Los Cerros de La Carpintera son una formación montañosa en el Valle Central de Costa Rica que alberga remanentes de bosque nuboso en sus partes altas y están rodeados por áreas urbanas y agrícolas. Con el interés de promover ...
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 ...
Epiphytes in Honduras: a geographical analysis of the vascular epiphyte flora and its floristic affinities to other Central American countries
(2016)
In this paper, we compared epiphyte inventories from Honduras to recent published floristic inventories from other Central American countries including Costa Rica, Panama, Nicaragua and Belize. Previous estimates of vascular ...
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 ...
