Alkaloids are aromatic hydrocarbons with nitrogen as heteroelements in the ring structure
that are responsible for bonding with the metal surface and help to reduce corrosion of …

Premise Of all orchid species described, 70% live on phorophytes. Trees offer a vital space
with characteristics that influence the successful establishment and life cycle of orchids …

Associations between epiphytes and their hosts are among the main factors affecting the
biodiversity and distribution of epiphytes. While several previous studies explored the …

We studied the influence of site conditions on epiphytic orchids under a subtropical climate
in the Kathmandu Valley, Nepal. We analysed 96 systematically distributed grid points …

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 …

The biodiversity and distribution of epiphytic orchids are strongly influenced by their
relationship with host plants, and environmental variables like elevation, slope, and local …

We studied distribution and site conditions of epiphytic orchids in a gradient of human
interference in Kathmandu valley, central Nepal. The aim was to understand the recent …

The survival chance of epiphytic orchids today not only depends on the natural site
conditions required by the orchids but also on anthropogenic changes in site conditions …

Human activities and climate crises have resulted in severe disturbances affecting tropical
forests. Here, we address the responses of leafless Vanilla spp. to open habitats, drought …

Epiphytic plant species are an important part of biological diversity. It is therefore essential to
understand the distribution pattern and the factors influencing such patterns. The present …
