Aechmea novoae (Bromeliaceae, Bromelioideae), a Novelty from the State of Jalisco, Mexico

Novon, A Journal for Botanical Nomenclature, 2020
Aechmea novoae Flores-Arg., López-Ferr. & Espejo, an epiphytic species distributed in the municipalities of Cabo Corrientes, La Huerta, and Puerto Vallarta in the state of Jalisco, Mexico, is described and illustrated. Morphologically, the new taxon resembles A. mexicana Baker and A. lueddemanniana (K. Koch) Brongn. ex Mez.

Stress Dominance and Niche Conservatism in Epiphytic and Lithophytic Bromeliads Along a Coastal–Inland Gradient

Journal of Vegetation Science, Volume 37, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Environmental filtering shapes bromeliad community assembly along a coastal–inland humidity gradient in southern Brazil. Higher humidity and climatic stability favor niche conservatism and persistence of C3 tank lineages, whereas lower humidity and greater variability promote trait convergence and repeated emergence of atmospheric CAM strategies under ...

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 ...

Functional types in the Bromeliaceae: relationships with drought‐resistance traits and bioclimatic distributions

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.

Cladistic Relationships of Aechmea (Bromeliaceae, Bromelioideae) and Allied Genera

, 2004
Aechmea (ca. 220 species) is the largest and most diverse genus in Bromelioideae (Bromeliaceae), and several dissimilar generic concepts and infrageneric classifications have been proposed, frequently involving other closely related Bromelioideae.

Reproductive systems of Hohenbergia Schult. & Schult.f. (Bromelioideae: Bromeliaceae) endemic to the Atlantic forest

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

Inflorescences of the Bromeliad Vriesea friburgensis as Nest Sites and Food Resources for Ants and Other Arthropods in Brazil

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.
