Mapping area of habitat for inland wetland species

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Area of habitat (AOH) maps provide a high‐resolution representation of the habitat available in a species’ range and can support conservation policy and planning processes. However, until recently, there was insufficient knowledge on the distribution of inland wetlands and freshwater biodiversity to develop AOH mapping methods specifically ...

Flagellate protist abundance in phytotelmata of Aechmea distichantha Lem. (Bromeliaceae) in the upper Paraná river basin - doi: 10.4025/actascibiolsci.v35i4.17134

open access: yesActa Scientiarum: Biological Sciences, 2013
In some Bromeliaceae species the leaf sheaths form a tank or phytotelma, accumulating water and organic detritus, conditions that allow the establishment of different communities. Thus, this study evaluated the relationship between diameter and volume of

Relative Importance of Resource and Condition Niche for Invertebrates in Water‐Filled Treeholes

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Water‐filled treeholes offer an ideal system to disentangle the roles of resource availability and abiotic conditions in community assembly. This study hypothesized that niches related to consumable resources and microhabitat conditions play distinct roles in shaping community structure, with niche differentiation being more strongly ...

Range extension and larval habitat of Lyriothemis tricolour Ris, 1919 (Odonata: Anisoptera: Libellulidae) from southern Western Ghats, India

open access: yesJournal of Threatened Taxa, 2013
Worldwide many species of odonates are known to use phytotelmata as a breeding habitat. Hitherto, no species are known to breed in phytotelmata in India.

Diversification and evolution of Hawaiian Megalagrion damselflies (Pinapinao, Odonata: Coenagrionidae) Ka Ho‘omāhuahua a me ke Kumu Ho‘omohala o nā Pinapinao Megalagrion o Hawai‘i (Odonata: Coenagrionidae)

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.
The ancestor of today's pinapinao, Hawaiian Megalagrion damselflies, diverged from Ischnurinae around 51 MA and likely evolved for over 20 MA before colonizing the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. An ancestor of Megalagrion colonized the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands and diversified into ecological niches with four new breeding habitats and two new gill ...

Brazilian Biomes as Promising Resources of Rhodotorula Yeasts for the Biotechnological Production of Carotenoids

open access: yesChemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 22, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Yeasts belonging to the genus Rhodotorula are capable of synthesizing carotenoids, such as β‐carotene, γ‐carotene, torulene, torularodine, and astaxanthin. These carotenoids have been shown to offer health benefits to humans, such as immune system strengthening and a reduced risk of chronic degenerative diseases.

Unseen Microalgal Diversity – Phytotelmata in Neoregelia spp. L.B. Smith (Bromeliaceae) from Florists Wholesalers in Laguna, Philippines

open access: yesThe Philippine journal of science, 2020
The aquatic microcosms in plant axils of bromeliads are unique and favorable habitat for diverse kinds of new and rare species of microalgae. This study presents the first taxonomic survey in the Philippines to focus on the algal community existing in ...

Phytotelmata-dwelling frog larvae show no defecation behavior: a unique adaptation to a closed aquatic environment

open access: yes
For organisms living in closed environments, fecal pollution is a significant concern. Amphibian larvae excrete their wastes as ammonia. Anuran larvae usually live in ponds or streams that contain excess clean water; therefore, the excremental ammonia is

Arthropod diversity in phytotelmata of \u3ci\u3eCalathea capitata\u3c/i\u3e (Zingiberales; Marantaceae) host plants from Peru [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Cryptic habitats are often overlooked in biodiversity surveys. Phytotelmata, or plant pools, are one type of cryptic habitat that supports diverse fauna in a miniature ecosystem.
