Edge type determines the intensity of forest edge effect on epiphytic communities. European Journal of Forest Research 134(3): 443–451. ["We conclude that the magnitude of the edge effect on epiphytic communities is modulated by the physiognomy of the surrounding matrix and the orientation of the forest edge.[...]One of the main problems affecting the loss and even disappearance of shaded species is the decreasing of the amount of core conditions under the increasing forest fragmentation scenarios. This potentially exacerbates forest fragmentation effects linked to livestock use, due to the physiognomically different surrounding matrix compared to forest patches."] Arvidsson, L. 2015.

Interactions among species with contrasting dispersal modes explain distributions for epiphytic lichens. Ecography 38(8): 762–768. ["This positive test for the core-fringe hypothesis demonstrates how interaction regimes can fundamentally alter expectations under climate change. There is an assumption that spore-dispersed lichen species could more easily track their suitable bioclimatic space through fragmented habitat, compared to asexual species with larger and heavier propagules. However, the establishment of spore-dispersed lichen epiphytes into new habitat may be limited by the dispersal rates of asexual species, which act as key
