Temperature dependence of germination and growth in Anthurium (Araceae)
Plant Biology, Volume 22, Issue 2, Page 184-190, March 2020., 2020 Global change is likely to lead to a 3 °C increase in temperatures in the tropics. The results of our laboratory experiments with 15 Anthurium species suggest that germination will actually benefit from this increase. Abstract By the year 2100, temperatures are predicted to increase by about 6 °C at higher latitudes and about 3 °C in the tropics.

Reproductive traits and floral visitors of Aechmea distichantha plants growing in different habitats of a South American xerophytic forest [PDF]
, 2018 Aechmea distichantha, a widely-distributed facultative epiphytic bromeliad species, is present from rainforests to xerophytic forests. At its southernmost distribution (Humid Chaco) it grows in the understory and forest edges.

Non-equilibrium dynamics and floral trait interactions shape extant angiosperm diversity. [PDF]
, 2016 Why are some traits and trait combinations exceptionally common across the tree of life, whereas others are vanishingly rare? The distribution of trait diversity across a clade at any time depends on the ancestral state of the clade, the rate at which ...

Functional Ecology, Volume 31, Issue 10, Page 1868-1880, October 2017., 2017 Plain Language Summary Summary Neotropical Bromeliaceae occupy an exceptional diversity of habitats. The five principal functional types, which are defined by innovations such as Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM), epiphytism, the tank growth form and neoteny, display distinct ecological water‐use strategies.

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2025, Issue 9, September 2025.Many species of the Bromeliaceae are under threat due to the fragmentation and anthropogenic pressure affecting the Atlantic Forest highlight the need to conservation efforts. The genus Hohenbergia deserves special attention in this context, as the Hohenbergia stellata complex includes endemic species that rely on diverse reproductive strategies, which

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 For the first time, the usage of bromeliad inflorescences as nesting sites for ants and other arthropods was studied. Frequencies of occurrence of nests were recorded from hollow stems of dried infructescences of the bromeliad Vriesea friburgensis on Santa Catarina Island, southern Brazil.

High Species Diversity in Fleshy-Fruited Tropical Understory Plants [PDF]
, 2001 Key innovations may increase the number of taxa in a clade that possesses the proposed innovation in comparison to its sister group that lacks the trait through either increased speciation or reduced extinction rates.
