Aquatic invertebrate communities in tank bromeliads: how well do classic ecological patterns apply? [PDF]

, 2014
Tank bromeliads (Bromeliaceae) often occur in high densities in the Neotropics and represent a key freshwater habitat in montane forests, housing quite complex invertebrate communities.

Resource heterogeneity and community structure: A case study inHeliconia imbricata Phytotelmata [PDF]

Oecologia, 1990
Complex or non-additive differences in the distribution and abundance of arthropod species inhabiting the water-filled bracts ofHeliconia imbricata can be created by simple manipulations of resource levels. The primary resources for these assemblages are the corollas of the flowers that accumulate in the bracts.

Host niche may determine disease-driven extinction risk. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
The fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) drives declines and extinctions in amphibian communities. However, not all regions and species are equally affected.

Connecting the Contradictory with Science Art and the Aid of a Caption [PDF]

, 2013
When the disciplines of science and art intertwine to reveal a truth then words and images are suited to telling different parts, and reveal the whole story most effectively when working in tandem.

A three year study of the phenology of insect larvae (Coleoptera, Diptera) in water-filled tree holes in the canopy of a beech tree

European Journal of Entomology, 2018
Water-filled tree holes are abundant microhabitats in forests worldwide and are inhabited by specialized communities of invertebrates. Despite their importance, the temporal dynamics of communities within and between years are largely unknown.

Mosquito fauna (Diptera: Culicidae) in phytotelmata environments of the Guapiaçu Ecological Reserve, Cachoeiras de Macacu, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
IntroductionPhytotelmata are plant structures that collect and retain water, serving as natural larval habitats. Certain species of culicids utilize these water-holding structures for larval development, playing a crucial role in water retention and ...
