Diversity patterns of vascular epiphytes along an elevational gradient in the Andes (2005, methodology): “…epiphyte flora on shrubs and small trees in the forest understorey is usually different from that on the large canopy trees, epiphytes on shrubs and small trees were sampled within the subplots, using collecting poles and binoculars (Shaw & Bergstrom, 1997; Gradstein et al., 2003; Krömer, 2003).”
Disturbance effects on diversity of epiphytes and moths in a montane forest in Ecuador (2008, unknown): “In addition to microclimate, establishment of epiphytes depends on host-tree characteristics, particularly roughness and chemical composition of the bark (Gradstein et al., 2003).”
Vertical stratification of vascular epiphytes in submontane and montane forest of the Bolivian Andes: the importance of the understory (2007, methodology): “This neglect is noteworthy as understory specialists may contribute considerably to total epiphytic diversity flora in humid montane forests (Gentry and Dodson 1987; Shaw and Bergstrom 1997; Gradstein et al. 2003; Krömer et al. 2005).”
