Oomycete metabarcoding reveals the presence of Lagenidium spp. in phytotelmata [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 The oomycete genus Lagenidium, which includes the mosquito biocontrol agent L. giganteum, is composed of animal pathogens, yet is phylogenetically closely related to the well characterized plant pathogens Phytophthora and Pythium spp.

Illuminating protist diversity in pitcher plants and bromeliad tanks [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2022 Many species of plants have evolved structures called phytotelmata that store water and trap detritus and prey. These structures house diverse communities of organisms, the inquiline microbiome, that aids breakdown of litter and prey.

Species Composition and Ecological Aspects of Immature Mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) in Phytotelmata in Cantareira State Park, São Paulo, Brazil [PDF]
InsectsPhytotelmata are aquatic microenvironments formed by the accumulation of water and organic matter in cavities of plants. These microenvironments serve as breeding sites for various species of mosquitoes, including some of epidemiological importance.

Eukaryotic Communities in Bromeliad Phytotelmata: How Do They Respond to Altitudinal Differences?
Diversity, 2020 Bromeliad phytotelmata are habitats for different organisms and models for ecological studies. Although poorly known, these environments are widely distributed in tropical ecosystems, harboring cosmopolitan and endemic species.

Pool choice in a vertical landscape: Tadpole‐rearing site flexibility in phytotelm‐breeding frogs [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Many species of Neotropical frogs have evolved to deposit their tadpoles in small water bodies inside plant structures called phytotelmata. These pools are small enough to exclude large predators but have limited nutrients and high desiccation risk. Here,

Aspects of the reproductive ecology of Trachycephalus cunauaru (Anura: Hylidae) in the southern Amazon [PDF]
Acta Amazonica, 2021 Trachycephalus cunauaru is an Amazonian hylid that uses phytotelmata to reproduce. There is relatively little information about the species, mainly due to the difficulty of accessing their reproductive sites.
