“…Both families are important because they not only provide biological resources to pollinators, visitors and fauna, which fulfill at least a part of their life cycles in these plants (Benzing 2000, Hornung-Leoni et al 2013), but because they are also used by local people for ornamental, medicinal and ceremonial purposes (Hornung-Leoni 2011a).…”

This study presents a list of species of the two most important families with epiphytic elements, Bromeliaceae and Orchidaceae, from the Reserva de la Biosfera Barranca de Metztitlán (RBBM), the largest Reserve in Hidalgo, Mexico. Thirty-four species are included, 26 corresponding to species in three genera of bromeliads, and eight species in six genera of orchids. The new records represent 26.5% of the total listed in the area; nine of them are new records for the Reserve (RBBM) and one is new for Hidalgo State. This study reveals that endemism for both families is very important in the Reserve (55.88%), since it includes 13 Mexican bromeliads, of which two are endemic to Hidalgo and one to the Reserve, and three orchids, two endemic to Mexico and one to the Reserve. We found species with different types of relative abundance: rare (16) and occasional (7). Additionally, we include information about the category (IUCN, CITES, NOM-059-SEMARNAT) as well as uses reported in the literature for the species in the RBBM. The checklist is strictly based on information obtained from deposited herbarium specimens as well as from those collected during fieldwork. We suggest that a conservation plan (in situ and ex situ) for the RBBM is important and necessary. The predominant habit for both families is epiphytic (17 species); even though there are terrestrial (7) and saxicolous (2), and the remaining are facultative species (8). Nine species are included in some risk category. The present work is the most complete and updated list of Bromeliaceae and Orchidaceae for this important natural area in the Mexican State of Hidalgo. However, more fieldwork is needed to document the biodiversity of the area in general and its flora in particular, as a way to highlight the importance of protected areas in preserving biodiversity.

“…La mayoría de los estudios realizados en los ambientes húmedos, analizan la diversidad de los artrópodos en las bromelias cuya forma es del tipo fitotelmata e igual se ha hecho para algunas especies del género Tillandsia (Bermúdez-Monge & Barrios, 2011;Frank et al, 2004;Hornung-Leoni, Márquez & Bueno-Villegas, 2011;Mondragón-Chaparro & Cruz-Ruiz, 2008;Murillo et al, 1983;Ospina-Bautista, Estévez-Varón, Betancur & Realpe-Rebolledo, 2004), sin embargo, son escasos los estudios de esta índole en ambientes secos (Becerril-González, 2012;Campos-Serrano, Herrera-Fuentes, Flores-Cruz & Zavala-Hurtado, 2009), en particular con Tillandsia recurvata (Luna-Cozar et al, 2020;Sánchez-Reyes, Luna-Cozar, Hurtado-Santiago & Jones, 2020;Troya, Bersosa & Vega, 2012) de menor tamaño a las fitotelmata y cuyas hojas crecen densamente. Es por ello que el objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar la riqueza y la diversidad de las especies de artrópodos que se asocian a T. recurvata en una zona semiárida de México y evaluar una posible influencia de los forofitos en la variación de esta fauna.…”

Las bromelias epífitas albergan en su interior una variedad de microambientes y de recursos para los artrópodos, convirtiéndose en importantes sitios de biodiversidad. En este trabajo se determinó la diversidad de los artrópodos asociados a la bromelia Tillandsia recurvata en tres localidades del municipio de Tecozautla, Hidalgo, México. En la temporada de secas se colectaron 112 ejemplares de T. recurvata en las plantas (forofito) de las especies: Acacia schaffneri, Myrtillocactus geometrizans, Bursera fagoroides y Prosopis laevigata. De cada epífita se extrajeron los artrópodos y cada morfoespecie se determinó taxonómicamente a nivel de orden y familia; por forofito se evaluó la riqueza específica, la diversidad y el número esperado de especies. La mayoría de las especies colectadas son de los órdenes Araneae, Coleoptera, Diptera y Hemiptera. La mayor riqueza se presentó en las bromelias del forofito P. laevigata y una diversidad mayor en el forofito M. geometrizans. En todos los forofitos, el número esperado de especies fue mayor al encontrado. En T. recurvata se forma un microambiente propicio para la presencia de los artrópodos, ya sea como refugio o bien para conseguir alimento. Los resultados establecen la posible influencia de los forofitos en la diversidad de las especies de artrópodos en T. recurvata.
