It is included in the order Poales (APG II 2003), close to the Typhaceae (Typha e Sparganium) and Rapateaceae (Bremer 2002, Davis et al 2004, Linder & Rudall 2005, and has traditionally been divided in to three subfamilies: Pitcairnioideae, Tillandsioideae and Bromelioideae, according to the growth habit, the ovary position and fruit and seed morphology (Smith & Downs 1974, 1977.…”

-(Anatomy of the floral scape of Bromeliaceae). This paper describes the anatomy of the floral scape for 12 species of Bromeliaceae, belonging to the subfamilies Bromelioideae, Tillandsioideae and Pitcairnioideae. Although all the scapes have a similar organization, there are variations in the structure of the epidermis, cortex and vascular cylinder. Such variations are described for the studied scapes and, when considered together they can help to identify the species. These aspects are described for each scape and discussed under a taxonomic point of view.Key words -anatomy, Bromeliaceae, floral scape RESUMO -(Anatomia do escapo floral de Bromeliaceae). Este trabalho descreve a anatomia do escapo floral de doze espécies de Bromeliaceae pertencentes às subfamílias Bromelioideae, Tillandsioideae e Pitcairnioideae e tem como objetivo ampliar o conhecimento anatômico da família e desse órgão em particular. Embora todos os escapos apresentem uma organização similar, observam-se variações na estrutura da epiderme, do córtex e do cilindro vascular. Tais variações são descritas para os escapos estudados e, quando são analisadas em conjunto, podem auxiliar na identificação das espécies. Esses aspectos são descritos para cada um dos escapos e discutidos dentro de um contexto taxonômico.Palavras-chave -anatomia, Bromeliaceae, escapo floral 1.Part of PhD thesis developed at Universidade Estadual Paulista Rio

This study firstly reviewed the interspecific interaction records between birds and epiphyte plants in Brazil. Forty two documents, including articles, scientific notes, books and thesis, and 35 personal records and from collaborators were argued, totaling 112 species of birds that interacted with 97 species of epiphyte plants. Two articles treated the theme specifically and another 40 treated related subjects, such as: pollination of epiphytes, ecology and feeding behavior of birds. Studies were concentrated mainly in Atlantic Forest, in the southeastern Brazilian region. The epiphyte species more visited by birds was Aechmea nudicaulis (Bromeliaceae). The main visitor of epiphytes was Ramphodon naevius (Trochilidae). According to the number of authors' citations an index of generality in bird-epiphyte interactions was created. As result the index inferred that the ovenbird Cichlocolaptes leucophrus and the bromeliad Nidularium procerum are less generalist and more specialist species in bird-epiphyte interactions. The totality of the papers showed a considerable number of bird species that use the epiphytes plants and its resources, including nectar, fruits, invertebrates, nest material, nesting place, water and bath. Considering the importance of epiphytes to supply a variety of resources for birds, these results highlighted the necessity of additional and specific studies about the theme in various Brazilian regions and biomes. Keywords: Atlantic Forest, avian community, bird-plant interaction, bromeliads, resources. RESUMO O USO DE PLANTAS EPÍFITAS POR AVES NO BRASIL.O presente estudo trata-se da primeira revisão sobre registros de interações interespecíficas entre aves e plantas epífitas no Brasil. Quarenta e dois documentos, incluindo artigos, notas científicas, livros, teses e 35 registros pessoais e de colaboradores foram levantados, totalizando 112 espécies de aves que interagiram com 97 espécies de plantas epífitas. Dois artigos se referiram sobre o tema especificamente, e outros 40 documentos trataram de assuntos relacionados, tais como polinização de epífitas, ecologia e forrageamento de aves. Os estudos foram realizados principalmente na Mata Atlântica da região sudeste do Brasil. A espécie de epífita mais visitada pelas aves foi Aechmea nudicaulis (Bromeliaceae). A principal espécie de ave visitante de plantas epífitas foi Ramphodon naevius (Trochilidae). Considerando o número de citações, foi criado um índice de generalização para interações entre espécies de aves e epífitas. Este índice inferiu que o furnariídeo Cichlocolaptes leucophrus e a bromélia Nidularium procerum são respectivamente as espécies menos generalistas e mais especialistas em interações interespecíficas aves-epífitas. A totalidade dos estudos mostrou um considerável número de espécies de aves que utilizam as plantas epífitas e seus recursos, incluindo néctar, frutos, invertebrados, material para ninho, local para nidificação, água e banho. Considerando a importância da variedade de recursos oferecidos pelas plantas epífi...

J. Dorr SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTIONEmphasis upon publication as a means of "diffusing knowledge" was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report on the research and collections of its various museums and bureaus. The Smithsonian Contributions Series are distributed via mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world.Manuscripts submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Scholarly Press from authors with direct affiliation with the various Smithsonian museums or bureaus and are subject to peer review and review for compliance with manuscript preparation guidelines. General requirements for manuscript preparation are on the inside back cover of printed volumes.
