- Unique elevational diversity patterns of geometrid moths in an Andean montane rainforest (2003, background): “There are also indications of a constant and high diversity of epiphytic plants (Werner 2002), which is generally known to be very high in Neotropical montane forests (Gentry and Dodson 1987, Nieder et al. 2001).”
- Patterns in species richness and distribution of vascular epiphytes in Chiapas, Mexico (2003, background): “Epiphytes contribute more in smaller plots, because their accumulation curves per ground surface area are steeper than those of forest trees, as pointed out by Nieder et al. (1999, 2001).”
- Ferns in an Angiosperm World: Cretaceous Radiation into the Epiphytic Niche and Diversification on the Forest Floor (2012, background): “Approximately 10% of extant vascular plants are epiphytic (Nieder et al. 2001).”
- Inner‐crown Microenvironments of Two Emergent Tree Species in a Lowland Wet Forest 1 (2005, background): “EPIPHYTES ARE CONSPICUOUS AND IMPORTANT COMPONENTS OF TROPICAL FORESTS, contributing up to 25 percent of the total plant diversity (Nieder et al. 2001) and up to 35 percent of the foliar biomass (Nadkarni 1984).”
- Vascular epiphyte distribution patterns: explaining the mid‐elevation richness peak (2006, background): “This pattern has been observed in other vascular epiphyte studies, both those based on secondary data compilations (Madison 1977; Nieder et al. 2001) and those based on primary data gathered on a ground-area basis (Gentry & Dodson 1987b; Hietz & Hietz-Seifert 1995b; Nieder et al.”
