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.

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.

Insects and allies associated with bromeliads: a review [PDF]
Terrestrial Arthropod Reviews, 2009 AbstractBromeliads are a Neotropical plant family (Bromeliaceae) with about 2,900 described species. They vary considerably in architecture. Many impound water in their inner leaf axils to form phytotelmata (plant pools), providing habitat for terrestrial arthropods with aquatic larvae, while their outer axils provide terraria for an assemblage of ...

Lichens and Bromeliads as Bioindicators of Heavy Metal Deposition in Ecuador
Diversity, 2019 We evaluated heavy metal deposition in Parmotrema arnoldii and Tillandsia usneoides in response to air pollution in Loja city, Ecuador. We assessed heavy metal (cadmium, copper, manganese, lead and zinc) content in these organisms at nine study sites ...

Aechmea distichantha (Bromeliaceae) Epiphytes, Potential New Habitat for Aedes Aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus (Diptera: Culicidae) Collected in the Province of Tucumán, Northwestern Argentina [PDF]
, 2013 Larval habitats of Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti (Linnaeus) and Culex (Culex) quinquefasciatus Say in the epiphyte Aechmea distichantha Lemaire (Poales: Bromeliaceae), were found and described both in semi-urban and rural localities of piedmont forest of the

Environmental and Experimental Botany, 2019 The water and nutrient uptake mechanisms used by vascular epiphytes have been the subject of a few studies. While leaf absorbing trichomes (LATs) are the main organ involved in resource uptake by bromeliads, little attention has been paid to the ...

Plant structure predicts leaf litter capture in the tropical montane bromeliad Tillandsia turneri
Brazilian Journal of BiologyLeaves 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 ...
