Diversity of green algae (Chlorophyta) from bromeliad phytotelmata in areas of rocky outcrops and "restinga", Bahia state, Brazil

Abstract: A floristic survey for green algae (Chlorophyta) from bromeliad phytotelmata of areas of rocky outcrop (Serra da Jibóia) and "restinga" (Parque das Dunas), Bahia state, Brazil is presented here. A total of twenty-three taxa were identified, including three species (Asterococcus superbus, Gongrosira papuasica and Lagerhemia chodatti) that are newly reported for Brazil and two Oedogonium species (Oedogonium pulchrum and O. areschougii) that were recollected in Brazilian territory after 115 years.

“…Our study does not provide evidence of random distribution of taxa across bromeliads and sites, nor of nested communities as usually expected by theoretical predictions. Therefore, both the taxonomic diversity (Carrias et al., 2014; Ramos et al., 2018) and the intra‐specific size distribution of the bromeliads improve algal richness in the Neotropics. Finally, a combination of factors related to nutrient availability and competitive advantage might explain the dominance of functional traits (filamentous forms) within the algal community in larger bromeliads.…”

“…The objective of this study was to identify the main drivers of algal community structure and biodiversity in the bromeliad ecosystem. Although algae have been less investigated in bromeliads than in other freshwater ecosystems (Sandgren, 1988; Stevenson et al., 1996), recent studies provided relevant data on their taxonomy and ecology (Carrias et al., 2014; Ramos et al., 2018; Ramos & do Nascimento Moura, 2019). Here, we sampled the algal communities of 217 Aechmea tank bromeliads in French Guiana, distributed across six sites separated by 30–200 km, within an area of about 25,000 km 2 .…”

“…No Brasil, a maioria dos trabalhos sobre comunidades fitotelmatas estão direcionados ao estudo da fauna, principalmente de invertebrados (Mestre et al 2001, Juncá & Borges 2002, Araújo et al 2007). Com relação à ficoflórula, destaca-se os trabalhos de ambiente fitotelmata bromelícola realizados por Lyra (1971Lyra ( , 1976) com diatomáceas nos estados do Rio de Janeiro e Pernambuco, respectivamente; Sophia (1999) e Sophia et al ( 2004) com desmídias no Rio de Janeiro; e os desenvolvidos na Bahia por Ramos e colaboradores com euglenofíceas (Ramos et al 2017a), desmídias (Ramos et al 2011(Ramos et al , 2017b(Ramos et al , 2017c(Ramos et al , 2018a, dinoflagelado (Ramos et al 2016) e clorofíceas (Ramos et al 2017d, Ramos et al 2018b.…”

“…O arranjo das folhas das bromélias em roseta, formando imbricamentos, permite que a água das chuvas, quando precipitada, fique retida nas folhas centrais e laterais formando pequenos tanques, ondem podem ocorrer algas, protistas, invertebrados e vertebrados (Picado 1913;Dias & Brescovit 2004;Maguire 1971).No Brasil, a maioria dos trabalhos sobre comunidades fitotelmatas estão direcionados ao estudo da fauna, principalmente de invertebrados (Mestre et al 2001, Juncá & Borges 2002, Araújo et al 2007).

Assim, estudos de inventário taxonômico são necessários visando ampliar o conhecimento sobre a biodiversidade das clorofíceas de ambiente fitotelmata bromelícola na Bahia e, consequentemente, no Brasil.…”
