Table 2.
Numbers of trees a given epiphyte species inhabited in 0·4 ha of the San Lorenzo Crane Plot (light and bold numbers) and generated numbers of a random distribution based on the distribution of a given species on all forest trees in the plot for the three host tree species Socratea exorrhiza, Marila laxiflora and Perebea xanthochyma

Numbers in brackets indicate the lower and upper boundary of the random generated tree numbers. Only species occurring on ≥5% of the host trees in the plot are shown. Bold numbers indicate species occurring on a higher number of trees than expected by random distribution.
