Genetics, evolution and conservation of Bromeliaceae

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2012
Bromeliaceae is a morphologically distinctive and ecologically diverse family originating in the New World. Three centers of diversity, 58 genera, and about 3,140 bromeliad species are currently recognized.

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.

Host Specificity and Activity Synchronization Drive Frog‐Biting Midge Incidence on Torrent Frogs (Hylodidae)

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 3, May 2026.
Frog‐biting midges were recorded exclusively on Hylodes asper (especially on males calling near streams and only during the day) and not on syntopic H. phyllodes, indicating host preference and activity synchronization. Micropredation on these visual‐signaling frogs is likely influenced by precipitation, especially under high maximum temperatures ...

Relationship between invertebrate fauna and bromeliad size

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Several bromeliads species store water and organic substrates, allowing the establishment of phytotelmata and associated fauna on their leaves. In this study, we sampled 70 individuals of Vriesea sp. (Carrière) (Bromeliaceae), in rupestrian fields in the

Forest type influence on Heliconia‐dipteran interaction networks

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 660-674, May 2026.
Responses to forest type depended on the developmental stage of dipterans. Bract traits and forest type influenced larval abundance, but forest type had no impact on adult alpha and beta diversity. Heliconia‐dipteran interaction networks showed a nested pattern for both forest types.

Visiting dynamics in tank-bromeliads after enrichment of a reforested urban patch of the Atlantic Forest

Rodriguésia
Many species of Bromeliaceae store water among their leaves creating microhabitats for several biological groups. Using bromeliads in enrichment of reforestation offers an opportunity to understand the occupation of tank habitat, and the impacts of these

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.

Flower color variation in Digitalis purpurea: Pollination and soil influences across native and introduced populations

American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Premise Flower color, a key trait influencing plant–pollinator interactions, may be influenced by abiotic factors such as soil. We investigated association between pollinators, soil characteristics, and flower color variations in Digitalis purpurea across native populations in Sweden and introduced populations in Bolivia.

Quantifying the abundance of four large epiphytic fern species in remnant complex notophyll vine forest on the Atherton Tableland, north Queensland, Australia [PDF]

, 2013
Epiphytes are generally considered rare in complex forests on the western edge of the Atherton Tablelands, north Queensland. This assertion is based on comparisons with wetter forests in the Wet Tropics bioregion, but is of limited use in restoration ...

The role of terrestrial bromeliads in determining the spatial organization of plant life forms in a tropical coastal forest

Acta Botânica Brasílica
The interplay between plant-plant interactions and light heterogeneity in the understory of tropical forests has rarely been examined. We aimed to identify the relative importance of the understory light environment and terrestrial bromeliads in ...
