We present a protocol to sample and analyse vascular epiphyte richness and abundance in forests of different structure (SVERA). Epiphyte abundance is estimated as biomass by recording the number of plant components in a range of size cohorts. Epiphyte species biomass is estimated on 35 sample-trees, evenly distributed over six trunk diameter-size cohorts (10 trees with dbh > 30 cm). Tree height, dbh and number of forks (diameter > 5 cm) yield a dimensionless estimate of the size of the tree. Epiphyte dry weight and species richness between forests is compared with ANCOVA that controls for tree size. SChao1 is used as an estimate of the total number of species at the sites. The relative dependence of the distribution of the epiphyte communities on environmental and spatial variables may be assessed using multivariate analysis and Mantel test. In a case study, we compared epiphyte vegetation of six Mexican oak forests and one Colombian oak forest at similar elevation. We found a strongly significant positive correlation between tree size and epiphyte richness or biomass at all sites. In forests with a higher diversity of host trees, more trees must be sampled. Epiphyte biomass at the Colombian site was lower than in any of the Mexican sites; without correction for tree size no significant differences in terms of epiphyte biomass could be detected. The occurrence of spatial dependence, at both the landscape level and at the tree level, shows that the inclusion of spatial descriptors in SVERA is justified.

In contrast, quantitative methods to sample and In his classic study on the sociology of epiphytes, Went analyse vascular epiphyte vegetation in the canopy have (1940) described the canopy by lying, face-up, with field received little attention, with a few exceptions (Barker glasses on a stretcher, while field-assistants transcribed & Pinard 2001, Bergstrom & Tweedie 1998, Gradstein his spoken observations. Plants fallen to the ground et al. 1996, 2003; ter Steege & Cornelissen 1988). and local tree-climbers provided voucher collections. Comparisons among inventories and datasets are often Although these techniques seem primitive compared with hampered because investigators used different sample those used by modern canopy scientists, much of our units (e.g. branch segments, branches, trees, ground knowledge of epiphyte distribution is still based on this surface plots) or sample sizes (e.g. number of trees, type of data (Johansson 1974, Ochsner 1935, Schimper number and size of plots) (Wolf & Flamenco-S. 2003). 1888, van Oye 1924).

Our objective resulted in a burgeoning of interest in canopy research in this paper is to develop a universal, quantitatively (Dial & Tobin 1994, Gottsberger & Doring¨ 1995, Laman rigorous sample design that permits comparisons of 1995, Mitchell et al. 2002, Moffett 1993, Nadkarni & epiphyte richness and abundance among forest stands of differing structure.

SVERA compares the richness within which discrete branches are patchily distributed. and abundance of epiphytes in forest stands that differ Even within the same tree, two branch segments differ in structure (as a result, for example, from disturbance). with respect to their history, topology and microclimate. SVERA adds three critical activities to the RRED-protocol. Second, epiphyte communities are very rich in species, First, SVERA estimates the true abundance of each particularly in wet tropical areas, so minimal areas species, in terms of species biomass. Although per cent (defined as the area that contains an adequate sample branch cover provides a good estimate of biomass for of species of regular occurrence; Westhoff & van der non-vascular epiphytes (McCune 1990), it is not a good Maarel 1973) can exceed the surface area of individual measure for vascular ones because many species extend branches or even whole trees (Johansson 1974, Wolf beyond the branch surface area. Using the number of 1993a, b). Third, the distribution of epiphytes is non- individuals is also suspect because large plants use more random (Laube & Zotz 2006), being heterogeneous at resources than small ones (Benavides et al. 2005, Zotz a range of spatial and temporal scales (Bennett 1986, 2007a, b). Distinguishing true individuals (genets) in a Nieder et al. 2000, Wolf 1994, 2005). Nearby trees may mass of ramets is also difficult, especially in montane have more similar epiphyte vegetation than those far forests. Rare species that occur only once or twice, away (Bader et al. 2000, Barkman 1958, Cascante-Mar´ın however, may be counted with confidence because the et al. 2006, Catling et al. 1986, Hietz & Hietz-Seifert 1995, number of occurrences is likely the same as the number Madison 1979). of individuals. SVERA uses the number of individuals in For epiphytes in humid tropical forests, the rare species to estimate total number of species in the combination of high richness (α-diversity) and high inventories (SChao). In lowland forests, spatially separated species turnover (β-diversity) causes the number of stands of epiphytes have been counted (Sanford 1968) species and their densities to rise continuously with instead of individuals, but this ignores the fact that increasing sample area (Annaselvam & Parthasarathy epiphytes can have hidden connections within canopy 2001). In most epiphyte community studies, sample plots soil or on undersides of branches.

If Second, SVERA incorporates tree basal area, tree the same holds for large trees, a substantial sampling density and trunk diameter frequency distributions so effort is needed. This problem may be handled by using that epiphyte abundance data can be extrapolated to a relatively scale-independent diversity measure such as a forest area.

González-Maya, Proyecto de Conservación de Aguas y Tierras, ProCAT Colombia/ International, Carrera 11 #96-43, Office 303, Bogotá, Colombia Abstract: The Andean bear (Tremarctos ornatus; bear) is endemic to the tropical Andes Mountains of South America. Previous assessments predict that bear populations will decline by >30% in the next 30 years. The species may face the greatest threats within its historical distribution in Colombia where rapid agricultural expansion into natural habitats is increasing human–bear conflicts. Between April 2017 and March 2018, we studied bear feeding behavior on plantain (Musa sapientum) and banana (M. paradisiaca) crops within the Barbas-Bremen protected area in the central mountain range of Colombia to describe the magnitude of crop damage, economic losses, and spatial distribution of feeding sites where human–bear conflicts would most likely occur. We also identified all affected farmers and used structured interviews to determine their attitudes toward the bears and their conservation. We recorded 237 damaged plants and identified 57 bear feeding area locations on 9 farms.

You really learn from your heart… and, this knowledge remains deeply rooted in you…” Siouxsie Correa “In the middle of difficulties lies the opportunity” Albert Einstein Claude Levi-Strauss said that the scientist is not a person who gives the right answer; he is one who asks the right questions. It may be partially true; however, I would rather complete this sentence saying: … that the scientist may have the, apparently, right answer today, but it may not be valid tomorrow. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First at all, I would like to thank the existence of music, which companied me along all stages of my PhD project and offered me a refugee in difficult moments, inspiration and relaxation during the work journey. Classical artists such as: Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Bach, and some of Tchaikovsky´s Waltz were sine qua non companies in the high concentration stages. Grandiose progressive, symphonic and psychedelic rock bands as well as jazz and blues bands were also part of my delight. Among some of these bands I could thanks for their great music: King Crimson, Eloy, Hawkwind, Yes, Gentle Giant, Marmalade, Marillion, Janis Joplin (my favourite ever), John Coltrane, The Trio (Paco de Lucía, Al Di Meola and John Mclaughlin).

  • Bromeliad Flora of Oaxaca, Mexico: Richness and Distribution
    Acta Botanica Mexicana 81: 71-147 (2007) BROMELIAD FLORA OF OAXACA, MEXICO: RICHNESS AND DISTRIBUTION ADOLFO ESPEJO-SERNA1, ANA ROSA LÓPEZ-FERRARI1,NANCY MARTÍNEZ-CORRea1 AND VALERIA ANGÉLICA PULIDO-ESPARZA2 1Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana-Iztapalapa, División de Ciencias Biológicas y de la Salud, Departamento de Biología, Herbario Metropolitano, Apdo. postal 55-535, 09340 México, D.F., México. [email protected] 2El Colegio de la Frontera Sur - San Cristóbal de las Casas, Laboratorio de Análisis de Información Geográfica y Estadística, Chiapas, México. [email protected] ABSTRACT The current knowledge of the bromeliad flora of the state of Oaxaca, Mexico is presented. Oaxaca is the Mexican state with the largest number of bromeliad species.
