Multiple anti-predator mechanisms in the red-spotted Argentina Frog (Amphibia: Hylidae) [PDF]

, 2017
Anurans employ a wide variety of anti-predator mechanisms to defend themselves. In casque-headed hylids, defence is thought to be a complex combination of several anti-predator mechanisms. However, the defence traits of only a few species are known; some

Relationships between Foliar Fungal Endophyte Communities and Ecophysiological Traits of CAM and C₃ Epiphytic Bromeliads in a Neotropical Rainforest

Diversity, 2020
Vascular epiphytes contribute up to 35% of the plant diversity and foliar biomass of flowering plants. The family Bromeliaceae is a monophyletic group of plants native to the Neotropics.

Aquatic invertebrate communities in tank bromeliads: how well do classic ecological patterns apply? [PDF]

, 2014
Tank bromeliads (Bromeliaceae) often occur in high densities in the Neotropics and represent a key freshwater habitat in montane forests, housing quite complex invertebrate communities.

Unraveling algae and cyanobacteria biodiversity in bromeliad phytotelmata in different vegetation formations in Bahia State, Northeastern Brazil

Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2018
Knowledge of algal and cyanobacterial diversity of phytotelmata remains poorly-known, especially for bromeliads from different vegetation formations. We investigated the microalgae communities of four species of tank bromeliads from different vegetation ...

Environmental determinants of macroinvertebrate diversity in small water bodies: insights from tank-bromeliads [PDF]

, 2013
The interlocking leaves of tank-forming bromeliads (Bromeliaceae) collect rainwater and detritus, thus creating a freshwater habitat for specialized organisms.

Dominant predators mediate the impact of habitat size on trophic structure in bromeliad invertebrate communities [PDF]

, 2014
Local habitat size has been shown to influence colonization and extinction processes of species in patchy environments. However, species differ in body size, mobility, and trophic level, and may not respond in the same way to habitat size.

Anti-virulence activities of some Tillandsia species (Bromeliaceae)

Botan‪ical Sciences, 2020
Background: Using molecules that inhibit bacterial virulence is a potential strategy to fight infections, with the advantage that, in contrast to bactericidal compounds, they do not induce resistance.

Diversity and distribution of epiphytic bromeliads in a Brazilian subtropical mangrove

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências
It is not unusual to find epiphytic bromeliads in mangroves, but most studies on mangrove vegetation do not record their presence. This study aimed to evaluate the diversity and distribution of epiphytic bromeliads in a subtropical mangrove. The richness,

Plant structure predicts leaf litter capture in the tropical montane bromeliad Tillandsia turneri

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Leaves intercepted by bromeliads become an important energy and matter resource for invertebrate communities, bacteria, fungi, and the plant itself. The relationship between bromeliad structure, defined as its size and complexity, and accumulated leaf ...
