Abstract
We compared Araceae abundance among mature forests, secondary forests, and plantations (8–14 years) in central Panama. Araceae colonization was virtually nonexistent in secondary forests and plantations. Low humidity, relatively short forest stature, and time could drive this absence. These results highlight the conservation value of forests containing intact populations of Araceae.
