Water-related leaf traits associated with epiphytism in the Neotropical megadiverse genus Anthurium (Araceae)
Background and Aims Epiphytes comprise approximately 10% of global vascular plant diversity and play key roles in many tropical ecosystems. They possess traits allowing survival under limited water availability (i.e. the epiphytic trait syndrome), but knowledge of these trait combinations is taxonomically biased and their generality remains unclear. The megadiverse genus Anthurium (Araceae), with…
