Eukaryotic Communities in Bromeliad Phytotelmata: How Do They Respond to Altitudinal Differences?

Diversity, 2020
Bromeliad phytotelmata are habitats for different organisms and models for ecological studies. Although poorly known, these environments are widely distributed in tropical ecosystems, harboring cosmopolitan and endemic species.

Germination of Aechmea gamosepala seeds under various temperatures, substrates, and lighting conditions

Technology in Horticulture
The use of native species from different ecosystems can contribute to increased environmental biodiversity. Despite the abundant plant genetic resources, there are few initiatives for the conservation, domestication, and sustainable use of these species.

Availability of microhabitats for Myxomycetes in the Atlantic Forest: Bromeliaceae [PDF]

Biotemas, 2010
Some species belonging to the Bromeliaceae family are called tank-bromeliads, due to the arrangement of its leave in rosettes that accumulate water and organic debris, allowing the development of diversified organisms.

Inconsistent effects of P enrichment and predator presence on food‐web dynamics in a bromeliad system

Oikos, EarlyView.
Food webs consist of trophic interactions of variable strength. However, it remains challenging to predict how changes in environmental conditions, such as nutrient enrichment, can affect these interactions. In this paper, we propose to integrate food web theory with ecological stoichiometry, which predicts how elemental ratios affect trophic ...

Reproductive traits and floral visitors of Aechmea distichantha plants growing in different habitats of a South American xerophytic forest [PDF]

, 2018
Aechmea distichantha, a widely-distributed facultative epiphytic bromeliad species, is present from rainforests to xerophytic forests. At its southernmost distribution (Humid Chaco) it grows in the understory and forest edges.

The Cinderella tree, Quillaja saponaria – A soap story

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Our current understanding of plants has been shaped by the entwining of different cultures. The Chilean soapbark tree, traditionally valued as a source of natural soap, was shown by serendipitous research in France in the 1900s to produce compounds that can boost the immune response to vaccines.

Arboreal Epiphytes in the Soil-Atmosphere Interface: How Often Are the Biggest “Buckets” in the Canopy Empty?

Geosciences, 2019
Arboreal epiphytes (plants residing in forest canopies) are present across all major climate zones and play important roles in forest biogeochemistry.
