| Miêu tả: | ABSTRACT: Bromeliads are important components of tropical forest and their leaves form tanks ("phytotelmata") with unique microecosystems. Until recently, there were no experiments of how macroinvertebrates reach these tanks. We placed 150 plastic cups ("artificial bromeliads") in a Costa Rican forest and found that when debris and rain are experimentally blocked, some groups are not found in the tanks (including the medically important Culicidae) or differ in frequency between treatment and control.KEY WORDS: tropical ecology, bromeliad experiments, Culicidae in phytotelmanta, Costa Rica, microhabitat colonization. |
