Liana diversity, abundance, and mortality in a tropical wet forest in Costa Rica (2004, methodology): “…with other neotropical forest sites Liana communities can be extremely variable throughout the tropics (Putz, 1984a, Gentry, 1991a, DeWalt et al., 2000, Gerwing and Farias, 2000, Schnitzer et al., 2000, Nabe-Nielsen, 2001, Perez-Salicrup et al., 2001, Burnham, 2002, Schnitzer and Bongers, 2002).”
Changes in tree and liana communities along a successional gradient in a tropical dry forest in south-eastern Brazil (2009, background): “In tropical forests, lianas can account for up to 40% of leaf area and leaf productivity (Hegarty and Caballe ´ 1991) and can contribute 10–25% of plant species richness (Gentry and Dodson 1987; Gentry 1995; Nabe-Nielsen 2001 ).”
What controls liana success in Neotropical forests (2008, background): “Liana density has also been found to correlate positively with the density of trees of between 1 and 10 cm in diameter, probably because of their suitability as trellises (Nabe-Nielsen, 2001).”
Liana abundance in a Puerto Rican forest (2004, background): “Large trees are more likely to host liana stems at Yasunı́, Ecuador, and to support higher liana basal area at La Selva, Costa Rica (Clark and Clark, 1990; NabeNielsen, 2001).”
Oligarchic dominance in western Amazonian plant communities (2005, background): “We also note that it is possible that the different dominance patterns documented for trees and lianas may reflect the much sparser sampling of lianas, most of which have diameters < 2.5 cm (also cf. Mascaro et al. 2004, Nabe-Nielsen 2001).”
Effects of lianas on growth and regeneration of Prioria copaifera in Darien, Panama (2004, background): “Because lianas are a major component of woody plant diversity and provide important food sources for wildlife, they play critical roles in the maintenance of biological diversity (Nabe-Nielsen, 2001; Burnham, 2002; Schnitzer and Bongers, 2002).”
Diversity and biogeography of vascular epiphytes in Western Amazonia, Yasuní, Ecuador (2004, background): “Alpha-diversity of trees (Korning & Balslev, 1994; Valencia et al., 1994; Gentry, 1988) and lianas (Nabe-Nielsen, 2001) is the highest ever recorded.”
