Systematics of Bromelioideae (Bromeliaceae)—Evidence from Molecular and Anatomical Studies [PDF]
A reconstruction of the phylogeny of Bromeliaceae based on sequence data from three noncoding chloroplast DNA markers (trnL intron, trnT–trnL, and trnT–trnF intergenic spacer [IGS]) is presented, including 26 genera and 33 species.

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

Temperature dependence of germination and growth in Anthurium (Araceae)
Global change is likely to lead to a 3 °C increase in temperatures in the tropics. The results of our laboratory experiments with 15 Anthurium species suggest that germination will actually benefit from this increase. Abstract By the year 2100, temperatures are predicted to increase by about 6 °C at higher latitudes and about 3 °C in the tropics.

The Jeweled Armor of Tillandsia—Multifaceted or Elongated Trichomes Provide Photoprotection [PDF]
Foliar trichomes of gray-leaved Tillandsioideae (Bromeliaceae) are highly reflective, suggesting a role in protecting the leaf against direct sunlight in exposed niches.
