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 ...
Epiphytic bromeliad communities in secondary and mature forest in a tropical premontane area
(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. ...
Distribución de las formas de vida en la flora costarricense
(2008)
La diversidad de plantas de un país o región se puede interpretar desde la perspectiva ecológica de las especies utilizando un sistema de clasificación por “formas de vida”. En este trabajo (1) se describe la diversidad ...
Establishment of Epiphytic Bromeliads in Successional Tropical Premontane Forests in Costa Rica
(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 ...
Dispersal limitation in epiphytic bromeliad communities in a Costa Rican fragmented montane landscape
(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 ...
Reproductive Strategies and Colonizing Ability of Two Sympatric Epiphytic Bromeliads in a Tropical Premontane Area
(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
(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 ...
La familia Bombacaceae (Malvales) en Costa Rica
(1997)
General descriptions and taxonomic keys to the nine genera (Bernoullia, Ceiba, Huberodendron, Matisia, Ochroma, Pachira, Pseudobombax, Quararibea, and Spirotheca) and twenty-four species of Bombacaceae species known to ...
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 ...
Composición florística y estructura de un bosque húmedo premontano en el Valle Central de Costa Rica
(2001)
Se estudió la estructura y composición florística de un remanente de bosque húmedo premontano (BHP) en la Zona Protectora El Rodeo, Valle Central de Costa Rica. Se establecieron tres parcelas permanentes (1 ha. cada una) ...
