Relações de bromélias epifíticas com características dos forófitos em diferentes estádios sucessionais da floresta ombrófila densa, Santa Catarina, Brasil. [PDF]
O presente estudo teve o objetivo de caracterizar a ocorrência de bromélias epifíticas em quatro estádios sucessionais (capoeirinha, capoeira, capoeirão e floresta secundária) da Floresta Ombrófila Densa em encostas da Ilha de Santa Catarina, Santa ...

Background The most substantial and best preserved area of Atlantic Forest is within the biogeographical sub-region of Serra do Mar. The topographic complexity of the region creates a diverse array of microclimates, which can affect species distribution ...

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 ...

Amphibians may use bromeliads for reproduction (i.e., bromeligenous species) or only for refuge and foraging (i.e., bromelicolous species). The partition of bromeliad resources is essential to maintain the coexistence of the associated assemblages.

The Cinderella tree, Quillaja saponaria – A soap story
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.

Mutualistic ants contribute to tank-bromeliad nutrition [PDF]
Epiphytism imposes physiological constraints resulting from the lack of access to the nutrient sources available to ground-rooted plants. A conspicuous adaptation in response to that lack is the phytotelm (plant-held waters) of tank-bromeliad species that are often nutrient-rich.

Micropropagation of Chapada Diamantina ornamental bromeliad [PDF]
ABSTRACT: Sincoraea mucugensis (Wand. & A.A. Conc.) LOUZADA & WAND, an endangered bromeliad, is confined to the central region of the Chapada Diamantina, in the municipality of Mucugê, Brazil. From various researches, it is evident that for the propagation of this species, the in vitro technique is a feasible option.
