Exploring the Effects of VgPIP1;2 Overexpression in the Roots of Young Rice Plants: Modifications in Root Architecture, Transcriptomic and Metabolomic Profiles [PDF]
PlantsRice (Oryza sativa) is a major staple crop that feeds over half of the world’s population. However, its cultivation depends heavily on nitrogen fertilizers, which increase both environmental impacts and production costs.

Ecological aspects of the casque-headed frog Aparasphenodon brunoi (Anura, Hylidae) in a Restinga habitat in southeastern Brazil [PDF]
Phyllomedusa: Journal of Herpetology, 2004 We describe some aspects of the ecology of Aparasphenodon brunoi, a species associated with bromeliads. We comment on the relationships of this species with bromeliad size, microhabitat use, diet and sexual dimorphism.

Mutualistic ants contribute to tank-bromeliad nutrition [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2013 Epiphytism imposes physiological constraints resulting from the lack of access to the nutrient sources available to ground-rooted plants. A conspicuous adaptation in response to that lack is the phytotelm (plant-held waters) of tank-bromeliad species that are often nutrient-rich.

Journal of Vegetation Science, Volume 37, Issue 2, March/April 2026.Environmental filtering shapes bromeliad community assembly along a coastal–inland humidity gradient in southern Brazil. Higher humidity and climatic stability favor niche conservatism and persistence of C3 tank lineages, whereas lower humidity and greater variability promote trait convergence and repeated emergence of atmospheric CAM strategies under ...

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.

Unexpected finds in Bahia: first records of five species of Tillandsia L. (Bromeliaceae) [PDF]
Check List, 2021 We present the first records of five Tillandsia L. species from the state of Bahia, Brazil, which were collected in the field and studied in herbaria. Tillandsia didisticha (E.Morren) Baker occurs in Cerrado and Caatinga biomes, T. line­aris Vell.

EDIS, 2021 Water can collect in the central tanks or axils of bromeliads, and immature stages of mosquitoes sometimes inhabit these small pools. This article provides recommendations for environmentally acceptable ways to control the production of nuisance mosquitoes in bromeliads; suggestions for planting species of bromeliads less likely to favor the production

Species Distribution Modeling Reveals Future Climate Refugia and Important Areas for Rocky Plants in Brazil's Iron Quadrangle. [PDF]
Ecol EvolClimate change is projected to sharply reduce suitable habitats for eight endemic rupestrian plant species in Brazil's Iron Quadrangle. Ensemble niche models reveal species‐specific vulnerabilities and highlight climatic refugia and corridors that may support persistence.
