Mediterranean-type ecosystems (MTEs) are located today in southwestern Australia, the
Cape Region of South Africa, the Mediterranean Basin, California, and central Chile. These …

Ecology affects each of the three principal processes leading to speciation: genetic
differentiation among populations within species, acquisition of reproductive isolation …

We present an integrative model predicting associations among epiphytism, the tank habit,
entangling seeds, C 3 vs. CAM photosynthesis, avian pollinators, life in fertile, moist …

• Premise: Bromeliaceae form a large, ecologically diverse family of angiosperms native to
the New World. We use a bromeliad phylogeny based on eight plastid regions to analyze …

A taxonomic revision of Bromeliaceae subfam. Tillandsioideae is presented based on a
multi-locus DNA sequence phylogeny (viz., plastid DNA loci rpoB-trnC-petN, trnK-matK-trnK …

A comprehensive analysis of photosynthetic pathways in relation to phylogeny and
elevational distribution was conducted in Bromeliaceae, an ecologically diverse Neotropical …

Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is a specialised mode of photosynthesis that
improves atmospheric CO2 assimilation in water-limited terrestrial and epiphytic habitats …

In this study we present a phylogenetic analysis of Melastomeae, focusing on the
Neotropical members of the tribe, a group of c. 70 species in 30 genera. In total, 236 …

Aim To provide distribution information and preliminary conservation assessments for all
species of the pineapple family (Bromeliaceae), one of the most diverse and ecologically …

Abstract Puya (Bromeliaceae), with> 200 species, is a classic example of a recent, rapid
species-level radiation in the Andes. To assess the biogeographical history of this primarily …
