Geographic structure in two highly diverse lineages of Tillandsia (Bromeliaceae) [PDF]

, 2017
The Neotropical genus Tillandsia (Bromeliaceae) is an excellent model system for macroevolutionary and biogeographic studies owing to its remarkable species diversity (ca.

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.

Tissue culture enhances the propagation potential of some Tillandsioideae

South African Journal of Botany, 2003
Seeds of three Tillandsia species were germinated in vitro and multiple shoots produced within 13 months in culture. Different Murashige and Skoog media; full- strength, half-strength, and half-strength macro/full micro salts plus 25mgl−1 NaFeEDTA, were used for germination.

Endemism Centres of the Five Richest Vascular Epiphyte Families in the Neotropics

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 1, Page 80-91, January 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Endemic species, characterised by limited geographic ranges, face a high risk of extinction. The neotropical region harbours diverse ecosystems and a substantial number of endemic species, thus identifying areas of high endemism is crucial for protecting unique and threatened species and ecosystems.

Are the wing's cells alive? Study case in Vriesea trichomes

Rodriguésia
The presence of peltate foliar trichomes is one of the main anatomical characteristic of Bromeliaceae. These complex structures are adapted to compensate water and nutrient absorption in species that have reduced or substrate and light-reflection ...

The ghost of climatic change in the geographic distribution of Tillandsia aeranthos (Bromeliaceae) [PDF]

, 2020
The geographic distribution of Tillandsia aeranthos is updated with new records. Its southern limit is extended 200 kilometers in a zone previously studied by many botanists and naturalists, and also in poorly-explored areas.

Potential bottom‐up control of Metamasius callizona in Florida, USA

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 172, Issue 5, Page 409-421, May 2024.
Tillandsia utriculata (Bromeliaceae), a native bromeliad in Florida, USA, is in danger of being extirpated by an invasive bromeliad‐eating weevil, Metamasius callizona (Coleoptera: Curculionidae). A population of T. utriculata was found in Belize that co‐exists with M. callizona.
