Strategies for the Micropropagation of Bromeliads
2009Bromeliads 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.

Species from almost all classes of ciliates are prone to be found inhabiting bromeliads in the Neotropics, from Mexico to Brazil, and the Antilles. Studies of ciliates recorded from bromeliads have been carried out from few bromeliad species, mainly in ...

Drivers of dispersal and diversification in bromeliads
2022Summary 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
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.

Complex indirect effects of epiphytic bromeliads on the invertebrate food webs of their support tree
Biotropica, 2019Ecosystem engineers are species that affect others through the provision of habitat rather than consumptive resources. The extent to which ecosystem engineers can indirectly affect entire food webs, however, is poorly understood.
