We studied the genetic diversity and structure of the Tillandsia capillaris complex, a morphologically diverse group of highly specialized epiphytes, across the distribution range in arid mountain regions of central Peru, Chile, Bolivia and central Argentina. To elucidate the phylogenetic relationships in the complex and to explore the taxon boundaries among populations, we used three plastid markers (rpoB-trnC-petN, trnK-matK-trnK, ycf1, c. 8100 bp in total) and one single-copy nuclear gene (PHYC, c. 1200 bp) for 69 populations and 96 individuals of the T. capillaris complex plus 16 outgroup taxa. Bayesian inference of plastid DNA data indicates the existence of two evolutionary core lineages, which can be recognized as two distinct species: T. capillaris and T. virescens (as proposed previously on the basis of morphological characters). Tillandsia capillaris is a monophyletic and homogeneous group, widely distributed and less genetically variable, whereas T. virescens (including T. kuehhasii) is genetically more divergent with most of the forms growing at high elevation in arid areas, except for the small clade including T. virescens s.s. (= T. cordobensis), which grows in lower, more humid habitats. The nuclear analysis resulted in a polytomy with some individuals showing incongruent positions between plastid and nuclear topologies. The high haplotype diversity, consisting of 63 plastid DNA haplotypes in 69 populations, was resolved as two core lineages occurring from north to south, allowing us to establish a preliminary view of the genetic variation overlapping between the two taxa. The results suggest that the genetic differentiation into two main clades is consistent with morphological variation in this Andean complex.

Background: Bromeliaceae family in Mexico has been the object of interest by botanists since 1789; their systematic study was approached from the 1970s onwards, and now there are significant advances in its taxonomic-floristic knowledge.Question: How many and which species of Bromeliaceae occur in Mexico? How they are distributed, and how many are endemic?Study site: México, 1887-2017.Methods: Based on the study of the Mexican Bromeliaceae, including botanical collection, literature review, and revision, analysis and determination of specimens in 50 herbaria, data about species richness, Mexican endemics, and distribution of their taxa in the country, were obtained.Results: In Mexico are represented four of the eight subfamilies of Bromeliaceae, 19 genera, 422 species, and 8 infraespecific taxa. The genera with the highest number of species in the country are Tillandsia (230/54.5 %), Hechtia (71/16.8 %) and Pitcairnia (50/11.8 %). 318 of the Bromeliaceae species are endemics to Mexico, as well as Ursulaea and Viridantha genera; 172 species are microendemic. The entity with the highest number of taxa is Oaxaca, followed by Chiapas, Veracruz and Guerrero. Tlaxcala and Baja California Sur have the lowest species number. Baja California, Baja California Sur, Campeche, Ciudad de México, San Luis Potosí, Sonora, Tabasco y Tlaxcala have not strict endemic taxa.Conclusion: Although progress in the knowledge of Mexican Bromeliaceae has been constant, exploration and recollection work is still required before concluding the Mexican bromeliad flora. It is also necessary to promote studies considering aspects of conservation and sustainable use.

“…Despite the cultural and ecological importance of bromeliads, these plants face negative anthropic factors that severely affect survival of their populations. The high demand for bromeliads in magicalreligious festivities and for ornamental purposes at the local or regional level has provoked an intense gathering of wild individuals with flowers, which prevents them from completing their life cycle, including reproduction (Guess and Guess 2002;Beutelspacher and Farrera 2007;Haeckel 2008;Hernández-Cárdenas et al 2014;Jiménez-López et al 2019). Some species that face these risks are Tillandsia macdougallii L.B.…”

The present study recorded inhabitants' traditional knowledge and uses of bromeliads and the phorophytes present in their ecosystems in two localities of Oaxaca. We also evaluated the effect of harvest practices on the abundance and distribution of the populations of these epiphytes on different phorophytes, considering the existence, or not, of a Forest Management Program. Structured interviews were conducted with 60 adults to identify the species of bromeliads of greater cultural importance (BGCI). We identified recurrent harvest sites (RHS) and occasional harvest sites (OHS) in order to estimate the abundance and phorophyte preference of BGCI. Traditional names and uses of epiphytes and phorophytes are described; it was identified that Tillandsia deppeana, T. lucida and Catopsis occulta had the highest BGCI in both localities. Their populations showed greater abundance values in OHS in both localities compared with RHS (χ 2 gl6 = 296.99, p < 0.05). T. deppeana and T. lucida were shown to prefer Quercus elliptica, while distribution of C. occulta showed a preference for Q. rugosa and Pinus oocarpa; however, phorophyte preference patterns of bromeliads may be influenced by the intensity of forest management. Decrease in abundance as the size category increased was recorded in three species, as well as the adult harvest. Finally, the inhabitants of both communities demonstrate similarities in their traditional knowledge, the intensity of harvest may be a factor influencing their abundance and preference of phorophytes, but also forest management programs determine the availability of bromeliads populations, due to the phorophytes specificity that some bromeliads exhibited.
