Nitrogen nutrition of bromeliads
2001Epiphytic bromeliads have no contact with the pedosphere, so they need to withdraw their nutrients from the atmosphere as well as from the host tree and animal debris, while terrestrial bromeliads, as Ananas comosus, generally depend on the soil as the main nutrient source.

Biotropica, 2013
AbstractMany members of the family Bromeliacae are able to adopt epiphytic lifestyles and colonize trees throughout the Neotropics. Bromeliacae do not extract nutrients from their hosts and confer relatively minor costs on their host plants. We suggest that bromeliads, however, may benefit their hosts by providing habitat for predators of host plant ...

Bromeliad treefrogs as phoretic hosts of ostracods
Naturwissenschaften, 2014Aquatic organisms can use many methods of dispersal among discrete freshwater habitats, and phoresy is an important but poorly understood mechanism. Tank bromeliads are small and unconnected habitats used by many animals, and some of them use phoresy for dispersal. Ostracods living in bromeliads used treefrogs as phoretic hosts for dispersal.

Copeia, 1939
at early metamorphosis (legs 12 mm. long), the synotic tectum extends farther forward (fig. 1 C). The frontoparietals have grown backward partly over the cartilage, and also reach forward to the anterior end of the cerebral hemispheres. At this stage each frontoparietal shows an adjustment of its shape to that of the brain (fig. 1 D).

Viability and storage of bromeliad pollen
Euphytica, 2002Several bromeliad species from two different subfamilies, were used to develop a reliable method to evaluate pollen viability. Pollen germination on a medium containing 20% sucrose, 0.001%H3BO3 and 0.5% agar was comparable to germination on a compatible stigma. Maximum germination was reached within 2 to 10 hours depending on the species. Based on this

Microprogation of Ornamental Bromeliads (Bromeliaceae)
1997The family Bromeliaceae contains about 2500 species native to tropical North and South America (Dimmitt 1992). The regions richest in bromeliads are Mexico, the Antilles, Costa Rica, eastern and southern Brazil, the Andes of Colombia, Peru, and Chile (Rauh 1990).

THE ABSORPTIVE CAPACITIES OF BROMELIAD TRICHOMES
American Journal of Botany, 1976Tritiated glycine and leucine and microautoradiographic techniques were employed to determine whether various bromeliad species produce foliar trichomes capable of absorbing these two solutes from solutions placed on intact leaf surfaces. All trichomes borne by members of subfamily Tillandsioideae, whether on the leaf blade or sheath, accumulated both ...
