Abstract
We studied fifteen species of vascular epiphytes in a 1200 m 2 sample of seasonally inundated forest (tintal) near Cancun, Mexico. The community of epiphytes occupied 14 species of host tree. While certain species of host tree tended to accommodate more epiphytes than others, no host tree specificity was exhibited by any of the epiphyte species. There was some evidence of canopy partitioning by branch size among the mote common epiphytes (8 species with >10 individuals in the sample area). Four species of Tillandsia (Bromeliaceae) tended to occupy the smallest diameter supports (mostly 2.5 cm (...)
