Abstract: Many Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest plant and animal species are geographically restricted to Southern Bahia and Northern Espírito Santo States. We investigated the geographic distribution of epiphytic bromeliads in the lowland forest of the Una region (15° 17' 34' S -39° 04' 30'' W) in Southern Bahia. Specifically, we addressed the following questions: i) what is the extent of each species distribution?; and ii) are the Bromeliaceae subfamilies distributed differently from one another? Almost half of the 40 sp… Show more

“…The richness of Bromeliaceae in the study area was high compared to other studies of epiphytic flora in the South and Southeast of Brazil (Giongo & Waechter 2004;Alves et al 2008;Buzzato et al 2008;Kersten & Kuniyoshi 2009;Geraldino et al 2010). However, higher values were cited in Brazil by Neto et al (2009), Reis & Fontoura (2009), Fontoura & Santos (2010 and by Blum et al (2011).…”

“…In addition, the vegetation for green roofs should be able to resist intense solar radiation and have the ability to retain rainwater [67]. Bromeliads are typical of the tropical and subtropical zones of the Americas, inhabiting almost every ecosystem observed from Chile to the southern part of the United States [69,70]. Tank bromeliads have a water reserve at their disposal, kept in reservoirs formed by the arrangement of the leaves in their basal portion.…”

“…It harbours populations of several endangered endemic species of large mammals, such as the golden-headed lion tamarin, the yellow-breasted capuchin monkey (Cebus xanthosternos), the southern Bahian masked titi monkey (Callicebus melanochir), the maned three-toed sloth (Bradypus torquatus), and the thin-spined porcupine (Chaetomys subspinosus), as well as several rare and endemic species of birds, invertebrates including spiders and ants (Delabie et al 2007;Cassano et al 2009), and trees (Amorim et al 2008). The Una Biological Reserve and its surroundings were the focus of several inventories, all of which reported high species richness of several biological groups including ferns (Paciencia and Prado 2005), bromeliads (Fontoura and Santos 2010), frogs (Silvano et al 2003), birds (Laps et al 2003), small terrestrial mammals (Pardini 2004) and bats (Faria et al 2006). The recently created Serra das Lontras National Park is one of the last remnants of montane Atlantic Forest in northeastern Brazil and hosts at least eleven threatened bird species, five of which were only recently or are currently being described (Silveira et al 2005), as well as populations of the yellow-breasted capuchin monkey, the golden-headed lion tamarin and 709 species of plants (Amorim et al 2009).…”
