  • Epilist 1.0: a Global Checklist of Vascular Epiphytes
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2021 EpiList 1.0: a global checklist of vascular epiphytes Zotz, Gerhard ; Weigelt, Patrick ; Kessler, Michael ; Kreft, Holger ; Taylor, Amanda Abstract: Epiphytes make up roughly 10% of all vascular plant species globally and play important functional roles, especially in tropical forests. However, to date, there is no comprehensive list of vas- cular epiphyte species. Here, we present EpiList 1.0, the first global list of vascular epiphytes based on standardized definitions and taxonomy. We include obligate epiphytes, facultative epiphytes, and hemiepiphytes, as the latter share the vulnerable epiphytic stage as juveniles. Based on 978 references, the checklist includes >31,000 species of 79 plant families. Species names were standardized against World Flora Online for seed plants and against the World Ferns database for lycophytes and ferns. In cases of species missing from these databases, we used other databases (mostly World Checklist of Selected Plant Families). For all species, author names and IDs for World Flora Online entries are provided to facilitate the alignment with other plant databases, and to avoid ambiguities. EpiList 1.0 will be a rich source for synthetic studies in ecology, biogeography, and evolutionary biology as it offers, for the first time, a species‐level overview over all currently known vascular epiphytes. At the same time, the list represents work in progress: species descriptions of epiphytic taxa are ongoing and published life form information in floristic inventories and trait and distribution databases is often incomplete and sometimes evenwrong.

The second conference followed 2 years later in 1969, together with the Floralies in Vincennes, Paris. 19 years later, in 1988 the EOCCE was again in Paris, the conference program was in a building at the Trocadero, the orchid exhibition was in a tent on the Champs de Mars, both localities with the perfect view to the most famous landmark of Paris, the Eiffel-tower. I still remember the storm during one afternoon, strong enough to force the responsible of the organization committee to shut down the exhibition for some hours. And now in 2018 we saw the 3rd EOCCE again in Paris, not in the heart of the town, but not too far away.

  • Orchid Research Newsletter No. 29
    Orchid Research Newsletter No. 71 January 2018 "All science is either physics or stamp collecting." This statement, attributed to Ernest Rutherford, is perhaps my favourite example of the either-or fallacy. Science is either physics or stamp collecting. Rather condescending towards a field like biology, isn't it? Perhaps we should be grateful that 'stamp collecting' is still allowed to hide under the Science umbrella. But nonsense is nonsense, whatever the reputation of the person who said it. For what we have here is a false dilemma. It's not a matter of either-or. 'Physics' and 'stamp collecting' are more like two extremes of a continuum (and I would suggest that pure mathematics rather than physics occupies one extremity). All science is a mixture of observation, classification, induction and deduction, in various proportions. Even Rutherford's own field of particle physics has an element of stamp collecting in it. Is there so much difference between classifying and describing subatomic particles and classifying and describing orchids? It seems to me that the main difference lies in the difficulty of making observations. It can be enormously complicated and expensive to observe an elementary particle, whereas observing an orchid requires at most a decent microscope (admittedly, finding the orchid in the first place can be challenging). Nor is it the case that the physicist's particles are embedded in a theory and the species of the biologist are not. I would argue that species are theoretical constructs almost as much as electrons and Higgs bosons are. Species exist in space and time; we can never observe them directly in all their aspects.

  • Orchid Research Newsletter 75 (PDF)
    Orchid Research Newsletter No. 75 January 2020 Editorial Orchids are perhaps not the first thing that comes to mind when we think about climate change. Record temperatures, catastrophic droughts, melting glaciers, out-of- control bush fires, burning rainforests and other calamities are of more immediate concern. But when we focus on orchid conservation, it is obvious that climate change looms large. It seems likely that orchids are more vulnerable to climate change than most other plant groups, for the following reasons: (1). Since about 70% of all orchids are epiphytes, they are probably more likely to be affected by drought. Even if mature plants would be able to survive unusually severe droughts, one can imagine that seedlings would be much more vulnerable. If such droughts become too frequent, seedling recruitment will be compromised, and the orchids will die out. (2). Since all orchids go through a mycoheterotrophic stage, at least as as seedlings, they depend on the presence of the right fungi for their long-term survival. It could be that climate change affects these fungi in such a way that they are no longer available to particular orchid species. These will then gradually disappear from their habitats. (3). Similarly, since many orchids depend on highly specific pollinators, the effect of climate change on the availability of these pollinators may be significant. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link, and we do not know if it is the orchid, the fungus or the pollinator that is the weakest link. (4). Orchids tend to occur in sparse, widely dispersed populations.

This paper reports on the rescue of orchids at risk from the disturbed forests for ex-situ conservation, the identification of the diversity of orchids and the evaluation of the influence of micro-climatic changes induced by clear-cut logging towards the resilience of orchids in the flood-disturbed secondary forests and logged forests in Terengganu and Kelantan, located at the central region of Peninsular Malaysia, where the forest destruction by logging activities has been extensive. 109 orchid species belonging to 40 genera were collected from the disturbed areas. The diversity and data analyses show that the disturbed secondary forests had a higher orchid density (0.0133 plants/ m2) than the logged sites (0.0040 plants/m2) as the habitat conditions were more dependable. Nevertheless, the logged forests harboured a higher diversity of orchids (H=4.50 and D=0.99) of which 97.9% were epiphytes. Eleven rare species were found along with six species endemic to Peninsular Malaysia, with two species new to science.

Until now we had not found complete and correct morphological description of flower arrangement in the orchid family. So it was not possible to understand the ways of their adaptation and evolutionary trends. Our research analyzed the flower arrangement and some parts of the androecium structure of more than 150 orchid species, belonging to 54 genera of Southeast Asia. The androecium micromorphology is helpful for the identification of the species and the study of the reproduction efficiency. The orchids of Southeast Asia show several inflorescence types, but often stop at the helicoid cyme stage of the ontogenesis. The inflorescence types can be modified by the environmental conditions in the wild or in cultivation. Keywords Environmental conditions, evolution trends, flower, inflorescence, ontogenesis, Orchidaceae, phylogeny, Southeast Asia. INTRODUCTION cyme, which is a determinate inflorescence. Another example of a determinate inflorescence The Orchidaceae family has more than is the terminal flower, which is formed not 25 000 species (Pridgeon et al., 2005).
