An overview of secretion in floral bracts of Tillandsioideae (Bromeliaceae), with emphasis on the secretory scales [PDF]
Abstract Bromeliaceae display many water-use strategies, from leaf impounding tanks to Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) photosynthesis and absorbing trichomes. Recent studies show that trichomes in inflorescences of bromeliads can exude viscous secretions, protecting against various stresses, including excessive water loss. In light of

Miscellaneous new species in the Brazilian Bromeliaceae [PDF]
From 1990 to 2006, 2,875 new angiosperm species were described in Brazil, including 280 newBromeliaceae species. This publication rate is considered to be a useful indicator of floristic richness andalso reveals the huge gaps in our knowledge of 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

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 ...

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
