The effect of area on local and regional elevational patterns of species richness (2011, background): “…moths (Brehm et al., 2007), flowering plants (Hemp, 2001; Moser et al., 2005; Oommen & Shanker, 2005), vascular epiphytes (Küper et al., 2004; Krömer et al., 2005; Cardelús et al., 2006; Hemp, 2011), ferns (Hemp, 2001; Bhattarai et al., 2004; Carpenter, 2005; Kluge et al., 2006) and…”
Global analysis of bird elevational diversity (2009, background): “Additionally, water and energy/temperature are correlated with elevational species richness of epiphytes (Krömer et al., 2005) and ferns (Bhattarai et al., 2004; Kluge et al., 2006).”
Vertical stratification of vascular epiphytes in submontane and montane forest of the Bolivian Andes: the importance of the understory (2007, background): “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).”
Plants on Plants – The Biology of Vascular Epiphytes (2016, background): “Some studies focused specifically on richness patterns in vascular epiphytes over large elevational gradients (Cardelús et al. 2006: 30–2600 m a.s.l.; Kr€omer et al. 2005: 350–4000 m a.s.l.), others over similarly large gradients included epiphytes and other life forms and analyzed them separately…”
Reasons for an outstanding plant diversity in the tropical Andes of southern Ecuador. (2009, background): “…of the research area can as well be addressed as a large continuous ecotone (Bach et al. 2007, Richter 2008), which appears to support the socalled Mid-Domain-Effect (Colwell et al. 2004, Herzog et al. 2005, Krömer et al. 2005, Rahbek 2005), i.e. maximum biological diversity at midrange elevations.”

Could temperature and water availability drive elevational species richness patterns? A global case study for bats (2006, background): “Additionally, water and energy/temperature are correlated with elevational species richness of epiphytes (Andes; Krömer et al. 2005) and ferns (Himalayas; Bhattarai et al.”
The vascular epiphytes of a lowland forest in Panama—species composition and spatial structure (2008, background): “Taxonomically, the epiphyte vegetation at San Lorenzo was dominated by orchids (Appendix 1), again similar to most other sites in the Neotropics (Freiberg 1996; Krömer et al. 2005; Wolf and Flamenco 2003; Zotz et al. 1999).”
Elevational species richness patterns for vascular plants on Mount Kinabalu, Borneo (2006, result): “In the Chiapas study, the highest diversity was found between 1000 and 1500 m. Similar results were found in two studies of neotropical epiphytes (Küper et al., 2004; Krömer et al., 2005; Cardelús et al., 2006).”
