The rupicolous bromeliad (Encholirium spectabile) as a keystone species for Brazilian semi-arid biodiversity.

Ecology, 2021
A keystone species is a species that has a disproportionately large effect on its natural environment relative to its abundance (Power et al. 1996).

Association of Strymon serapio (Lycaenidae: Theclinae) and Castnia invaria (Castniidae: Castniini) with the Habitat-Forming Bromeliad Encholirium spectabile (Bromeliaceae: Pitcairnioideae) in the Brazilian Semiarid Caatinga

Journal of the Lepidopterists' Society, 2021
. Bromeliads provide habitat and food resources for various organisms. Besides the nectar and pollen, the leaf and fruit tissues of these plants supply food for various animal groups. Among the groups that feed on bromeliads, herbivores are the ones that

Disentangling the factors that shape bromeliad and ant communities in the canopies of cocoa agroforestry and preserved Atlantic Forest

Biotropica, 2021
In tropical forest canopies, host tree characteristics shape epiphyte communities, and both host tree characteristics and epiphytes determine invertebrate communities, for example, ants.

How much water is in the tank? An allometric analysis with 205 bromeliad species

, 2020
Tank bromeliads are prominent and distinctive components of many Neotropical forests. Functionally important for the plants themselves these phytotelms also represent important freshwater habitats in the forest canopy for a range of animal species and ...

Neotropical Anopheles (Kerteszia) mosquitoes associated with bromeliad-malaria transmission in a changing world.

Acta Tropica, 2020
Kerteszia is a neotropical subgenus of Anopheles composed of 12 species. The species in this subgenus are strongly associated with humid forests rich in epiphytic bromeliads.

Strategies for the Micropropagation of Bromeliads

2009
Bromeliads are tropical plants that are native to the Americas with a wide distribution in the rain forests, deserts and coastal areas. They are mostly epiphytes and terrestrial, diverse and important from the ecological point of view, they are found in microhabitats in strong interactions with fauna.

How does a C3 epiphytic tank bromeliad respond to drought?

Botanical journal of the Linnean Society, 2020
Intermittent water availability characterizes the canopy habitat, but few studies have focused on how C3 epiphytic bromeliads deal with drought. In this context, we investigated how water deficits affect the photosynthetic responses of the epiphytic ...

Algae of bromeliad phytotelmata in the Queen Sirikit Botanical Garden, Chiang Mai, Thailand

, 2020
Inhabiting of bromeliad tanks by algae and other organisms is a very interesting phenomenon. Although the conditions in these water tanks are challenging, the occurrence of different algae and cyanobacteria in such specific ecological niches may suggest ...

Drivers of dispersal and diversification in bromeliads

2022
Summary Dispersal strategies strongly influence an array of plant traits, especially the shape and function of fruits and seeds, and can be important drivers of diversification dynamics.

Nitrogen nutrition of bromeliads

2001
Epiphytic 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.
