Direct sampling technique of bees on Vriesea philippocoburgii (Bromeliaceae, Tillandsioideae) flowers [PDF]
In our study on Vriesea philippocoburgii Wawra pollination, due to the small proportion of flowers in anthesis on a single day and the damage caused to inflorescences when netting directly on flowers, we used the direct sampling technique (DST) of bees ...

Bromeliaceae subfamilies show divergent trends of genome size evolution. [PDF]
Genome size is known to vary widely across plants. Yet, the evolutionary drivers and consequences of genome size variation across organisms are far from understood.

Tracing the evolutionary and genetic footprints of atmospheric tillandsioids transition from land to air [PDF]
Plant evolution is driven by key innovations of functional traits that enables their survivals in diverse ecological environments. However, plant adaptive evolution from land to atmospheric niches remains poorly understood.

Prepollination barriers prevent gene flow between co-occurring bat-pollinated bromeliads in a montane forest [PDF]
Background Reproductive isolation mechanisms in flowering plants are fundamental to preserving species’ evolutionary independence and to enabling the local coexistence of closely related species.

Taxon-specific or universal? Using target capture to study the evolutionary history of rapid radiations. [PDF]
Abstract Target capture has emerged as an important tool for phylogenetics and population genetics in nonmodel taxa. Whereas developing taxon‐specific capture probes requires sustained efforts, available universal kits may have a lower power to reconstruct relationships at shallow phylogenetic scales and within rapidly radiating clades. We present here

Phylogenomics, ecomorphological evolution, and historical biogeography in Deuterocohnia (Bromeliaceae: Pitcairnioideae). [PDF]
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.

Beyond conservation: the landscape of chloroplast genome rearrangements in angiosperms. [PDF]
Summary Chloroplast genomes (plastomes) have long been considered structurally conserved, but recent sequencing efforts have uncovered pervasive rearrangements that challenge this assumption. This review catalogues the main types of plastome modifications: large and small inversions; insertions and deletions (indels); gene and intron losses; horizontal
