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.

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.

Bromeliad‐associated Reductions in Host Herbivory: Do Epiphytic Bromeliads Act as Commensalists or Mutualists?

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, 2014
Aquatic 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.

A New Bromeliad Frog

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).
