Ants mediate the structure of phytotelm communities in an ant-garden bromeliad [PDF]
, 2010 The main theories explaining the biological diversity of rain forests often confer a limited understanding of the contribution of interspecific interactions to the observed patterns.

Environmental control of the microfaunal community structure in tropical bromeliads. [PDF]
, 2017 Ecological communities hosted within phytotelmata (plant compartments filled with water) provide an excellent opportunity to test ecological theory and to advance our understanding of how local and global environmental changes affect ecosystems. However,

Where the Immatures of Triassic Diptera Developed
Diversity, 2023 Immature Diptera are more diverse and abundant in fresh water than any other insect order. The question arises whether the earliest dipterans, known from the Upper Buntsandstein of Europe (early Anisian, Middle Triassic), already developed in water and ...

Influence of environmental and morphological parameters on the microfauna community present in phytotelmata of a bromeliad in a fragment of Atlantic Forest, southern Brazil [PDF]
Neotropical Biology and Conservation, 2021 Bromeliads are important epiphytes due to their abundance in the Neotropical region and morphological complexity. Their compact and imbricated leaf bases form water storage cisterns that promote important resources for colonization by several prokaryotic

The last instar larva and pupa of Ora depressa (Coleoptera: Scirtidae), a marsh beetle with underwater pupation [PDF]
, 2018 In this contribution we describe and illustrate for the first time, detailed morphology and chaetotaxy of the last instar larva and the pupa of Ora depressa (Fabricius, 1801), and provide diagnostic characters and information on its biology.

Temporal and spatial distribution patterns of dipteran assemblages in common teasel (Dipsacus fullonum L.) phytotelmata: Insights from eastern Slovakia [PDF]
Travaux du Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle “Grigore Antipa”The common teasel (Dipsacus fullonum L.) represents a unique and almost unknown aquatic ecosystem referred to as phytotelma, identified almost a century ago by Varga in 1928.

Field Test of Mosquito Ovipositional Cues from Venezuelan Phytotelmata
The Florida Entomologist, 1993 Fluids held by four phytotelmata were compared for oviposition by mosquitoes in lowland rainforest in eastern Venezuela. Significantly more Wyeomyia ulocoma and Culex pleuristriatus were recovered in fluid from bracts of Heliconia caribaea, than in fluids collected from axils of Aechmea bromeliads, the aroid Alocasia macrorrhiza, or internodes of ...

Bromeliad selection by two salamander species in a harsh environment.
PLoS ONE, 2014 Bromeliad phytotelmata are frequently used by several Neotropical amphibian taxa, possibly due to their high humidity, microclimatic stability, and role as a refuge from predators.
