Ecosystem services provided by bromeliad plants: A systematic review
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 9, Issue 12, Page 7360-7372, June 2019., 2019 Bromeliads have been widely used as a model system for testing fundamental ecological theory; nevertheless, their benefits to the surrounding ecosystems and human society have been largely overlooked. Using a systematic review, we showed that while the publication of studies about supporting ecosystem services have accelerated over the last 30 years ...

American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract Premise Species of Deuterocohnia (17 spp.) show extraordinary variation in elevation (0–3900 m a.s.l.) and growth forms, and many have narrow geographic distributions in the west‐central Andes and the Peru‐Chile coast. Previous research using few plastid and nuclear loci failed to produce well‐resolved or supported phylogenies.

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.

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.

Endemism Centres of the Five Richest Vascular Epiphyte Families in the Neotropics
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 1, Page 80-91, January 2025.ABSTRACT Aim Endemic species, characterised by limited geographic ranges, face a high risk of extinction. The neotropical region harbours diverse ecosystems and a substantial number of endemic species, thus identifying areas of high endemism is crucial for protecting unique and threatened species and ecosystems.

Leaf Epidermis of the Rheophyte Dyckia brevifolia Baker (Bromeliaceae)
The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013 Some species of Dyckia Schult. f., including Dyckia brevifolia Baker, are rheophytes that live in the fast‐moving water currents of streams and rivers which are subject to frequent flooding, but also period of low water. This study aimed to analyze the leaf epidermis of D.
