Resumen:
In the tropical rainforest of Los Tuxtlas, Mexico, lianas (woody-climbing plants) had a clumped distribution on trees, and 63.3 percent of trees ?10 cm in diameter carried at least one liana. Trees with larger diameters supported more lianas and a higher total basal area of lianas than trees with smaller diameters. There was no relationship between liana diameter and the number of trees a liana climbed, but tendril climbers climbed on more trees than stem-twiners.
