Elevational gradients of species diversity, breeding system and floral traits of orchid species on Réunion Island (2005, background): “Distribution patterns of individual species and communities have received a lot of attention in the ecological literature (MacArthur & Wilson, 1967; MacArthur, 1972; Ricklefs & Schluter, 1993; Rosenzweig, 1995), and several measures to determine changes of composition have been proposed ( Whittaker,”
Diversity patterns of vascular epiphytes along an elevational gradient in the Andes (2005, background): “At the regional level, peaks of epiphyte richness between 1000 and 1500 m were found in Chiapas, Mexico (Wolf & Flamenco-S, 2003), in Ecuador (Küper et al., 2004), and at 1500–2000 m in Peru (van der Werff & Consiglio, 2004).”
Vascular epiphyte distribution patterns: explaining the mid‐elevation richness peak (2006, background): “2001; Wolf & Alejandro 2003), no canopy-based study has previously been conducted over a full elevational transect.”
Local illegal trade reveals unknown diversity and involves a high species richness of wild vascular epiphytes (2007, background): “Epiphytic plants are a diverse guild characteristic of tropical forests and represent a substantial proportion of the species richness in those ecosystems (Wolf and Flamenco, 2003).”
Elevational species richness patterns for vascular plants on Mount Kinabalu, Borneo (2006, methodology): “In addition to looking at trees and ferns, we also look at epiphytic species because these are thought to constitute a large component of the diversity in tropical wet forests (Gentry & Dodson, 1987; Wolf & Flamenco-S, 2003).”
Epiphytic bromeliad communities in secondary and mature forest in a tropical premontane area (2006, background): “The contribution of epiphytes to overall diversity (reviewed in Wolf & Flamenco-S 2003) and to forest biomass (Hofstede, Wolf, & Benzing 1993; Nadkarni 1985) has been well documented for some undisturbed forests.”
Orchid species richness along Himalayan elevational gradients (2011, background): “A hump-shaped relationship of orchid species richness with the temperature–elevational gradient has also been found in Mexico (Wolf & Flamenco-S, 2003).”
The elevation gradient of lichen species richness in Nepal (2009, result): “In all these studies, as well as studies dealing with lichens from other countries (Wolseley & Aguirre-Hudson 1997; Negi 2000, 2003; Wolf & Alejandro 2003; Pinokiyo et al. F. 1.”
Diversity and biogeography of vascular epiphytes in Western Amazonia, Yasuní, Ecuador (2004, background): “Contradicting data are reported by Wolf & Flamenco-S (2003) for Chiapas where maximum species richness was found in regions between 2000 and 2500 mm annual rainfall because of a decrease in wind dispersed taxa.”
