Genome Skimming Reveals Widespread Hybridization in a Neotropical Flowering Plant Radiation

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
The tropics hold at least an order of magnitude greater plant diversity than the temperate zone, yet the reasons for this difference are still subject to debate.

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 ...

Phylogenomics, ecomorphological evolution, and historical biogeography in Deuterocohnia (Bromeliaceae: Pitcairnioideae)

American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 2, February 2026.
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.

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 ...

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

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.
