relationship with host plants, and environmental variables like elevation, slope, and local …

Epiphytes are one of the most diversified plant life forms, whose species richness peaks in
the tropics and subtropics. Here we examined vertical distribution metrics (ie, number of …

Epiphytic orchids are common in subtropical forests, but little is known about the factors that
determine their diversity. We surveyed two sites (north-facing Phulchowki and south-facing …
