Jamaican bromeliads are home to Metopaulias depressus, a reddish-brown crab 2 cm (0.8 in) across, which has evolved social behavior to protect its young from predation by Diceratobasis macrogaster, a species of damselfly whose larvae live in bromeliads. Some bromeliads even form homes for other species of bromeliads. [31]

Nearly all bromeliads have specialized cell groups called trichomes which form scales on the foliage. The trichomes occurring on Tillandsioideae may cover the plants so completely that they appear grey or white, like Spanish moss. In addition to absorbing nutrients, the trichomes may serve to insulate the plant from freezing weather.
The Bromeliad Society International (BSI) encourages public education, conservation, and scientific research of bromeliads by funding the "Harry E. Luther & Victoria Padilla Research, Conservation and Education Fund". [5] [6] The winter 2012-2013 edition of the Journal of the Bromeliad Society was called the "Harry E. Luther Memorial Issue". [7]
