Functional Traits of a Rainforest Vascular Epiphyte Community: Trait Covariation and Indications for Host Specificity

Trait matching between interacting species may foster diversity. Thus, high epiphyte diversity in tropical forests may be partly due to the high diversity of trees and some degree of host specificity. However, possible trait matching between epiphyte and host is basically unexplored. Since the epiph...
