Structural anomalies in pollen grains of Dyckia racinae L.B.Sm. (Bromeliaceae)
The development of the pollen grains is a complex and regulated process. However, failures in sporogenesis and gametogenesis are common and include cell division errors and multiple structural modifications, culminating usually in abortions or, less frequently, in formation of anomalous pollen grains.

Phylogeny, Adaptive Radiation, and Historical Biogeography of Bromeliaceae Inferred from ndhF Sequence Data [PDF]
Cladistic analysis of ndhF sequences identifies eight major bromeliad clades arranged in ladderlike fashion. The traditional subfamilies Tillandsioideae and Bromelioideae are monophyletic, but Pitcairnioideae are paraphyletic, requiring the description of

Influência das propriedades do solo sobre a abundância das espécies vegetais em campos ferruginosos no sudeste do Brasil [PDF]
Ferruginous "campos rupestres" are a particular type of vegetation growing on iron-rich primary soils. We investigated the influence of soil properties on plant species abundance at two sites of ferruginous "campos rupestres" and one site of quartzitic ...

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.
