Journal ArticleDOI
How plants shape the ant community in the Amazonian rainforest canopy: the key role of extrafloral nectaries and homopteran honeydew.
Nico Blüthgen,Manfred Verhaagh,William Goitia,Klaus Jaffe,Wilfried Morawetz,Wilhelm Barthlott +5 more
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that the high availability of homopteran honeydew provides a key resource for ant mosaics, where dominant ant colonies and species maintain mutually exclusive territories on trees.
Journal ArticleDOI
Species richness and distribution patterns of leaf-inhabiting endophytic fungi in a temperate forest canopy
TL;DR: Most endophytes proved to be ubiquitous within the canopy of the investigation site, but habitat preferences in terms of different tree species, different light regimes and season (sampling times) were obvious for some abundantendophytes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Viburnales: cytological features and a new circumscription
TL;DR: Cornaceae, and Hydrangeaceae point to a very close relationship between the Viburnaceae, Sambucaceae and Adoxaceae, corroborating the inclusion of these families into an order different from the Dipsacales, namely the VIBurnales.
Journal ArticleDOI
Species richness and substrate specificity of lignicolous fungi in the canopy of a temperate, mixed deciduous forest
TL;DR: These first long term investigations assessing the diversity and ecology of wood-decaying fungi in a canopy using a construction crane to gain access to the canopy of a forest in Leipzig, Germany find many fungi that grew on bark or slightly decayed wood showed a distinct host and substratum specifity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cold‐induced Chromosome Regions and Karyosystematics in Sambucus and Viburnum
TL;DR: Several karyological characters point to a closer relationship between Viburnum, Sambucus and Adoxa: Relatively large chromosomes, continuous condensation behaviour, reticulate to semireticulate interphase nuclei and presence of CIRs.
