Post-seminal development and cryopreservation of endemic or endangered bromeliads.
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2021 Vriesea bahiana, Hohenbergia castellanosii and Encholirium spectabile are endemic Brazilian species that are considered endemic or endangered. Development of strategies to conserve these species is important to prevent irreversible genetic erosion.

New Proposal of Epiphytic Bromeliaceae Functional Groups to Include Nebulophytes and Shallow Tanks
Plants, 2022 The Bromeliaceae family has been used as a model to study adaptive radiation due to its terrestrial, epilithic, and epiphytic habits with wide morpho-physiological variation.

Litter‐trapping tank bromeliads in five different forests: Carbon and nutrient pools and fluxes
Biotropica, 2021 Bromeliads are the most abundant litter‐trapping plants in Neotropical forest canopies. By intercepting litter, bromeliads obtain and retain nutrients before they reach the pedosphere.

Go with the flow: The extent of drag reduction as epiphytic bromeliads reorient in wind
PLoS ONE, 2021 Vascular epiphytes represent almost 10% of all terrestrial plant diversity. Being structurally dependent on trees, epiphytes live at the interface of vegetation and atmosphere, making them susceptible to atmospheric changes.

Nitrogen efficiency indexes for evaluating nitrogen uptake and use in ornamental bromeliad’s root system and tank [PDF]
Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 2018 : The objective of this work was to evaluate if nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) indexes can elucidate functional differences in nutrient uptake between the root system and tank of epiphytic bromeliads. The bromeliads Guzmania lingulata and Vriesea 'Harmony'

AEDES AEGYPTI OVIPOSITION DIFFERENCES AMONG ORNAMENTAL BROMELIADS WITH VARIABLE WATER LEVELS
, 2021 Aedes aegypti (L.) have recurrently been emphasized as a critical vector amidst the emergence, and re-emergence, of various anthroponoses. Bromeliads have been incriminated as an Ae. aegypti refuge.

Arboreal frogs, tank bromeliads and disturbed seasonal tropical forest [PDF]
, 2003 We investigated the relationship between arboreal frogs, tank bromeliads and landscape transformation in tropical forests of southeastern Campeche, Mexico. We surveyed frogs in six distinct habitats: slash and burn agriculture, seasonally flooded forest (
