Desmídias de ambientes fitotélmicos bromelícolas

Abstract: Desmids of phytothelmic environmentsWater is accumulated in phytotelmata (plant pond) of Bromeliads and usually favor algal development. Twenty-five samples were taken in these environments placed on coastal and mountain regions of Rio de Janeiro State, Brasil. Desmids were dominant in nineteen of these samples. Ten species, three varieties and one taxonomic form were identified. In addition, representatives of Chlorophyceae, Cyanophyceae, Bacillariophyceae, Xanthophyceae and Dinophyceae were found.Key words: … Show more

“…Tank bromeliads form an "oasis" within the semi-arid area, as these plants usually are the only source of water available to many organisms that live nearby (Islair et al 2015). Most studies in these environments are targeted to the fauna, especially invertebrates, and little is known about algal diversity in these microcosms (Sophia 1999). The relationship between bromeliads and algae is still a largely unexplored and poorly understood topic (Marino et al 2011).…”

“…Bromeliads in neotropical forests serve as habitats for bacteria (Haubrich et al 2009), algae (Brouard et al 2011), fungi (Sophia 1999), protozoa (Foissner et al 2003), arthropods and anuran amphibians (Benzing 1990, Silva et al 2011. Some invertebrates, such as oligochaetes and ostracods, spend their entire lives inside the cisterns of bromeliads (Montero et al 2010, Pinto & Jocqué 2013, while others are only found in such habitats in immature forms, mainly beetles and flies (Mestre et al 2001).…”
