Reproductive traits and floral visitors of Aechmea distichantha plants growing in different habitats of a South American xerophytic forest [PDF]
, 2018 Aechmea distichantha, a widely-distributed facultative epiphytic bromeliad species, is present from rainforests to xerophytic forests. At its southernmost distribution (Humid Chaco) it grows in the understory and forest edges.

The Invisible Species: Big Data Unveil Coverage Gaps in the Atlantic Forest Hotspot
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 30, Issue 12, December 2024.ABSTRACT Aim Rapid technological advancements and the biodiversity crisis have motivated efforts to document species before their extinction. However, taxonomic coverage gaps, where certain species are underrepresented in biodiversity databases, can distort our understanding of ecosystems.

Constricted spatiotemporal foraging of the regenerating salamander, Bolitoglossa mombachoensis
Ecosphere, Volume 10, Issue 10, October 2019., 2019 Abstract Bolitoglossa mombachoensis is an endemic neotropical salamander of the Mombacho Volcano, Nicaragua. Canopy communities within the tropics are hubs for biodiversity, and many tropical plethodontids have a foraging preference for epiphytic plants, such as bromeliads, which provide moist microclimates for shelter, foraging, and nesting.

Macroevolution of the plant–hummingbird pollination system
Biological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 5, Page 1831-1847, October 2024.ABSTRACT Plant–hummingbird interactions are considered a classic example of coevolution, a process in which mutually dependent species influence each other's evolution. Plants depend on hummingbirds for pollination, whereas hummingbirds rely on nectar for food.

Genetic relationships and variation in reproductive strategies in four closely related bromeliads adapted to neotropical ‘inselbergs': Alcantarea glaziouana, A. regina, A. geniculata and A. imperialis (Bromeliaceae) [PDF]
, 2017 Background and Aims Bromeliads (Bromeliaceae) adapted to rock outcrops or ‘inselbergs' in neotropical rain forests have been identified as suitable plant models for studying population divergence and speciation during continental plant radiations. Little
