What makes a good phorophyte? predicting occupancy, species richness and abundance of vascular epiphytes in a lowland seasonal tropical forest

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

Forest canopy harbors 40-50% of the global terrestrial biodiversity, of which nearly 10% is restricted to this specific environment (Ozanne et_al, 2003; Basset et_al, 2012). The so-called "last biological frontier" (Lowman and Nadkarni, 1995; Stork et_al, 1997; Lowman and Rinker, 2004) has been considered as one of the most diverse, but little-known habitats in the biosphere (Lowman and Schowalter, 2012). The prime importance of microclimates actually experienced by organisms has been increasingly acknowledged (De Frenne et_al, 2021), but it is only recently that microclimatic conditions have been monitored, modeled and used . . .
