Phylogenomics, ecomorphological evolution, and historical biogeography in Deuterocohnia (Bromeliaceae: Pitcairnioideae). [PDF]
Am J BotAbstract Premise Species of Deuterocohnia (17 spp.) show extraordinary variation in elevation (0–3900 m a.s.l.) and growth forms, and many have narrow geographic distributions in the west‐central Andes and the Peru‐Chile coast. Previous research using few plastid and nuclear loci failed to produce well‐resolved or supported phylogenies.

Divergent Transcriptional Architectures Beyond Core CAM Genes in Facultative and Constitutive CAM Species in Tillandsia L. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is a water‐efficient photosynthetic strategy involving a coordinated suite of complex traits including metabolic, anatomical and regulatory aspects that shift across the diel cycle. While CAM has evolved repeatedly in land plants, the evolutionary routes enabling this convergence remain elusive.

Canalized to heat, plastic to cold: adaptive coordination of leaf and seed strategies in populations spanning an elevational gradient. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary In tropical mountains, surviving temperature extremes demands finely tuned strategies. We investigated how populations of the bromeliad Pitcairnia flammea across a 2200 m elevational gradient balance genetic canalization and plasticity, and whether thermal strategies are coordinated between seeds and leaves.

Extreme Droughts Push Heterotrophic Functions Above Baseline Levels in a Neotropical Ecosystem. [PDF]
Glob Chang BiolUsing tank bromeliads, we experimentally assessed post‐drought resistance and recovery of ecosystem multifunctionality under realistic drought scenarios. We focused on three key functions in these small yet abundant Neotropical freshwater ecosystems: litter decomposition, microbial respiration, and photosynthetic efficiency.
