Epiphyte videos

I just made an exciting discovery! There are loads of cool videos about epiphytes, vines, mistletoes online. I'll share a few in the blog for this week but encourage you to check all the rest out for yourself!

This video features Jennifer Sanger and Gerhard Zotz, both of whom have been involved with the NZ Epiphyte Network!

This clip uses exciting field work and an awesome soundtrack together to make a very good sell for canopy research!

Haha, what a surprise that you found our video! My partner Steve Pearce shot that only last month when we were visiting the Smithsonian Institute. So many cool epiphytes there! I hope that no one watching the video knows Spanish- I did such a bad job with the translation!

I work with NZ's native vascular epiphytes at the University of Waikato. I completed an MSc on epiphyte ecology and the shrub epiphyte Griselinia lucida and have recently published the Field Guide to NZ's Epiphytes, Vines & Mistletoes.

For me, the highlights of epiphyte research are the many unknowns, the amazing way that these plants survive in the canopy, and of course tree climbing!
