Composição florística e estrutura da comunidade de epífitas vasculares em uma área de ecótono em Campo Mourão, PR, Brasil

Abstract: Acta bot. bras. 24(2): 469-482. 2010. IntroduçãoA importância ecológica do epifi tismo nas comunidades fl orestais consiste na manutenção da diversidade biológica e no equilíbrio interativo: as espécies epifíticas proporcionam recursos alimentares (frutos, néctar, pólen, água) e microambientes especializados para a fauna do dossel, constituída por uma infi nidade de organismos voadores, arborícolas e escansoriais (Waechter 1992). As aves também podem utilizar vários recursos de epífi tas, tais como frutos, fl … Show more

“…The richness of Bromeliaceae in the study area was high compared to other studies of epiphytic flora in the South and Southeast of Brazil (Giongo & Waechter 2004;Alves et al 2008;Buzzato et al 2008;Kersten & Kuniyoshi 2009;Geraldino et al 2010). However, higher values were cited in Brazil by Neto et al (2009), Reis & Fontoura (2009), Fontoura & Santos (2010 and by Blum et al (2011).…”

“…The H' value can be considered moderate since it reached more than 50% of the maximum predicted variation (zero to 5.0) and was higher than those reported in some studies in Brazil (Waechter 1998;Kersten & Silva 2002;Reis & Fontoura 2009;Kersten & Kuniyoshi 2009;Kersten et al 2009b;Quaresma & Jardim 2012), Colombia (Alzate et al 2001) and Venezuela (Barthlott et al 2001). However, some Brazilian studies have shown higher values (Giongo & Waechter 2004;Kersten et al 2009a;Geraldino et al 2010). In the Urucu River basin, the diversity analysis showed that the epiphytic community contributed significantly to the abundance and floristic richness of the forest, which supports several authors who have cited epiphytes as an important component for floristic diversity in the Neotropics (Kelly et al 1994;Clarke et al 2001).…”

“…Gonçalves andWaechter (2003), Menini Neto et al (2009a), Geraldino et al (2010) also emphasise the high frequency of anemochory, corroborating the assertion of Benzing (1990) that it is the most common type of dispersal among epiphytes. The vertical distribution of these plants in the forest confirms the action of wind as the major dispersal agent (MADISON, 1977).…”

“…In general, these families are the five most representative in the epiphytic synusia both in the Atlantic Forest (KERSTEN, 2010) as well as globally (MADISON, 1977), occupying however, a different position to that found in FFS. Orchidaceae is frequently the richest family in studies concerning epiphytic flora in the Neotropical Region, followed by Bromeliaceae (DISLICH; MANTOVANI, 1998; BORGO, 2007;BUZATTO et al, 2008;KERSTEN et al, 2009;MENINI NETO et al, 2009b;GERALDINO et al, 2010), and if Microgramma is cited as the richest genus, it often shares this position with other genera (ROGALSKI; ZANIN, 2003;BREIER, 2005;MANIA;MONTEIRO, 2010). The other recorded genera (Anemia, Polybotrya and Serpocaulon) often have a low or intermediate richness.…”

“…A anemocoria tem predominado como síndrome de dispersão entre as espécies epifíticas (Benzing 1987, Breier 2005, Dettke et al 2008, Menini Neto et al 2009, Geraldino et al 2010, especialmente em florestas com menor precipitação (Gentry & Dodson 1987a, Bataghin et al 2012, como é o caso da Floresta Estacional Semidecídua aqui estudada, na qual 60% das espécies epifíticas apresentaram essa forma de dispersão.…”
