Endemic Vascular Epiphytes: Integrating Protected Areas and Suitability Models in the Amazon Forest. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study aimed to identify the number of vascular epiphytes endemic to the Amazon rainforest and to estimate the distribution of 15 of these species using species distribution modeling (SDM). In addition, the work examined the potential occurrence of these epiphytes inside and outside protected areas (PAs) in the Amazon, with a view to predicting ...

The role of bromeliad structural complexity on the presence, spatial distribution and predator avoidance in Tityus neglectus (Scorpiones: Buthidae). [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Due to remarkable architectural design featuring rosette‐like leaf arrangements, bromeliads serve as habitats for various species. Bromeliad architecture is a key factor in the spatial distribution and occurrence of the Tityus neglectus scorpion. Furthermore, T.

Biosilicification in monocots: Comparative analysis highlights contrasting patterns of deposition. [PDF]

Am J Bot
Abstract Premise New insights into biomineral uptake and sequestration are important for understanding how plants grow. Some plants accumulate silica accretions in precise locations in particular cells. Among monocots, controlled biosilicification occurs in several different forms and is restricted to commelinids and orchids. Methods We utilized energy‐

Micropropagation of the ornamental vulnerable bromeliads Aechmea blanchetiana and Aechmea distichantha [PDF]

Horticultura Brasileira, 2013
Aechmea blanchetiana and Aechmea distichantha are Brazilian native bromeliads with great ornamental value, although none of the species are produced commercially. Therefore, market demands are met through nature predatory exploitation. This study intended to (1) evaluate the in vitro seed germination of A. blanchetiana and A.
