The genetic diversity of populations of two sympatric species of Lymania (Bromeliaceae), both endemic to the Atlantic rainforest of southern Bahia (Brazil), are analyzed to contribute to the design of more efficient conservation strategies for these bromeliads.

Genetic diversity in three natural populations of Pitcairnia flammea (l.) John (Bromeliaceae) estimated by ISSR markers.

Evaluating the genetic diversity among and within natural populations of Pitcairnia flammea, occurring in three fragments of the Atlantic Forest in the southern State of Espírito Santo through the use of ISSR markers indicates that gene flow rates may be enough to counteract the effects of genetic drift.

Novelties in Bromeliaceae from the northeastern Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest1

Three new species of Aechmea, Quesnelia and Vriesea (Bromeliaceae) are described and illustrated in Bahia State, in remnant areas of Atlantic Rainforest.

Geographic distribution of epiphytic bromeliads of the Una region, northeastern Brazil.

The endemism data around Una indicates that species are geographically distributed over an area spanning approximately six to seven degrees in latitude and longitude, which contrasts with the geographic distribution of Andean epiphytes, mainly represented by Tillandsioideae, that have large geographical distributions.

Patterns of pollen and seed dispersal in a small, fragmented population of the wind-pollinated tree Araucaria angustifolia in southern Brazil

The results suggest that seed dispersal is restricted but that there is long-distance pollen dispersal between the forest fragment and the tree group; thus, the two stands of trees are not isolated.
