The geographic range size and vulnerability to extinction of angiosperm epiphytes in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 32, Issue 9, Page 1607-1617, September 2023., 2023
Abstract Aim Angiosperm epiphytes have long been reported to have larger geographic ranges than terrestrial species, despite evidence of their outstanding diversity and endemism. This apparent contradiction calls for further investigation of epiphytes' poorly understood range size patterns. Here, we address the question of whether epiphytes have larger

Smoothing out the misconceptions of the role of bark roughness in vascular epiphyte attachment

New Phytologist, Volume 238, Issue 3, Page 983-994, May 2023., 2023
Summary Vascular epiphytes represent c. 10% of all vascular plant species. In epiphytes, attachment is essential for survival throughout consecutive ontogenetic stages of their life, starting with: (1) initial propagule attachment to the host; followed by (2) the development of first root‐substrate connections; and (3) maintenance of this attachment ...

Ontogenetic changes in root traits and root‐associated fungal community composition in a heteroblastic epiphytic bromeliad

Oikos, Volume 2023, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Heteroblastic variations among leaf traits is a well‐known process, especially in bromeliad species that show abrupt changes, but little effort was directed to test whether comparable ontogenetic variation occurs among root traits and their fungal partners.

Putting vascular epiphytes on the traits map

Journal of Ecology, Volume 110, Issue 2, Page 340-358, February 2022., 2022
Our first global compilation of epiphyte trait data permits to test hypotheses how epiphytes differ from ground‐rooted plants and also shows systematic differences among epiphyte groups. We explore how different environmental constraints experienced by epiphytes shape individual traits and the trait coordination (Photo: Gunnar Petter).

Ecosystem services provided by bromeliad plants: A systematic review. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 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 ...

A 100‐Million‐Year Gap in the Knowledge of the Evolutionary History of Bromeliaceae: A Brief Review of Fossil Records

Feddes Repertorium, Volume 132, Issue 1, Page 20-27, March 2021., 2021
Bromeliaceae arose in the Early Cretaceous, diverging from Typhaceae at ca. 125 Ma. After an apparent evolutionary stasis of 100 million years, they have undergone a high diversification starting in the Miocene. By adding fossils to the phylogenies, one can infer dates of arising and the divergence of lineages and link them to geological and climatic ...

Pollination by hummingbirds of Vriesea gigantea (Bromeliaceae) populations in Southern Brazil

Rodriguésia, 2020
The pollination syndrome hypothesis usually does not successfully apply to the diversity of floral phenotypes or help predict the pollinators of most plant species.
