Species composition and biogeographic relations of the rock outcrop flora on the high plateau of Itatiaia, SE-Brazil (2007, background): “Corresponding author: ktorres@uai.com.br phytosociology (Alves 2000), ecology (Houle & Phillips 1989, Meirelles 1996), evolution (Benzing 2000, Seine et al. 2000), floristics and biogeography (Porembski et al. 1998, Seine et al. 2000), conservation (Burke 2002a) and the relationships with…”
Dew deposition on epiphytic bromeliad leaves: an important event in a Mexican tropical dry deciduous forest (2003, background): “Both species exhibit CAM (Griffiths et al. 1986, Martin 1994); Tillandsia brachycaulos is an ecophysiological type V and considered an atmospheric, whereas T. elongata is type IV and shows a well-developed tank (Benzing 2000).”
Species richness and endemism of plant and bird communities along two gradients of elevation, humidity and land use in the Bolivian Andes (2001, background): “tanks susceptible to frost (Benzing, 2000), is suppressed at higher elevations by low temperatures.”
SYSTEMATICS OF BROMELIOIDEAE (BROMELIACEAE)¯EVIDENCE FROM MOLECULAR AND ANATOMICAL STUDIES (2007, background): “Speculating about the ancestral stock of Bromelioideae we could characterize it as a group of predominantly terrestrial plants of ecophysiological Type I sensu Benzing (2000) with C3 metabolism and principally Andean distribution.”
Diversity patterns of vascular epiphytes along an elevational gradient in the Andes (2005, unknown): “This is in accordance with height zonation of bromeliads within the forest (Krömer, 2003) and can be explained by the growth of bromeliads at fairly high light levels (Benzing, 1990, 2000; Zotz & Hietz, 2001).”
Patterns of diversity and range size of selected plant groups along an elevational transect in the Bolivian Andes (2001, background): “On the other hand, Bromeliaceae (Benzing 2000) and Pteridophyta (Barrington 1993) can be treated as well-defined ecological guilds due to their distinct morphological, ecological, and ecophysiological attributes.”
Bromeliaceae diversity and conservation in Minas Gerais state, Brazil (2007, background): “Immediate actions to protect the Bromeliaceae Xora of the Quadrilátero Ferrífero in the southern portion of the Cadeia do Espinhaço are needed, since the area suVers with accelerated urban growth and mining activities.”
Epiphytic bromeliad communities in secondary and mature forest in a tropical premontane area (2006, background): “Bromeliad (Bromeliaceae), are restricted to the neotropics, where they contribute considerably to the diversity of epiphytic angiosperm communities, in effect only surpassed by orchids and pteridophytes (Benzing 2000).”
Ancient Vicariance or Recent Long‐Distance Dispersal? Inferences about Phylogeny and South American–African Disjunctions in Rapateaceae and Bromeliaceae Based on ndhF Sequence Data (2004, background): “Contrary to previous claims (e.g., Benzing 2000), until now there had been no phylogenetic evidence within Bromeliaceae that the family arose in the Guayana Shield; the distribution there of earliest divergent Brocchinia might have simply been an autapomorphy.”
Photosynthetic pathways in Bromeliaceae: phylogenetic and ecological significance of CAM and C3 based on carbon isotope ratios for 1893 species (2015, background): “Both subfamilies are endemic to the wet, nutrient-poor tepuis and surrounding habitats of the Guiana Shield (Givnish et al., 1997; Holst, 1997; Benzing, 2000).”
Vascular epiphytes in the temperate zones–a review (2005, background): “Cold temperatures, let alone long-lasting frost is likely to constitute a major limiting factor for most tropical taxa Benzing 2000; Larson 1992 , but not for all Halbinger 1941 .”
From Carnivore to Detritivore? Isotopic Evidence for Leaf Litter Utilization by the Tropical Pitcher Plant Nepenthes ampullaria (2003, result): “In this respect, the strategy of N. ampullaria is comparable to that of some epiphytic “tank” bromeliads of the New World tropics (Benzing 2000).”
Nectar‐feeding bird and bat niches in two worlds: pantropical comparisons of vertebrate pollination systems (2008, background): “Epiphytes (e.g. Bromeliaceae) are especially common in the Neotropics (Gentry, 1982; Benzing, 2000), and they provide an important food source for hummingbirds.”
