The EPIDYN project explores biodiversity theories by studying bryophytes and lichens on leaves in tropical rainforests. It aims to understand species interactions and community dynamics in a rapidly changing ecological system, providing insights into biodiversity maintenance.
Why are there so many species in the tropics?
Ecologists have no definite answer to this question.
While theories explaining biodiversity maintenance have arisen in the past few decades, testing them with empirical data in tropical rainforests can be challenging because of the slow dynamics of tree communities.
By focusing on bryophytes and lichens living on leaves - ‘epiphylls’ - EPIDYN aims to test the two main types of biodiversity theories in an ecological system of much faster dynamics and…
