Abstract: Aim:We aimed to understand how aquatic insect larvae communities associated with bromeliad phytotelmata are affected by plant architecture, predators and resources (local factors), and by geographical distance (regional factors) in two different plant phenological phases. Bromeliad flowering results in plant structural changes, which favours insect dispersal. Considering that local and regional factors may affect the community of aquatic insect larvae, we expected that composition, beta diversity and the impor… Show more

“…However, the beta diversity of microflora was positively associated with detritus biomass, mainly due to the difference in the richness component (i.e., related to species loss). Considering that the diversity of insect predators of microfauna is positively related to detritus (Torreias & Ferreira‐Keppler, 2011 ) and these insects are negatively related with microfauna (Amadeo et al, 2017 ; Antiqueira, Petchey, & Romero, 2018 ), detritus could lead to increased predation pressure on prey aquatic communities, such as algae and rotifers. At the local scale, these species losses would have negative implications for ecosystem functioning and stability (Isbell et al, 2017 ; Rezende et al, 2021 ).…”

“…The phytotelmata present in A. ornata and A. recurvata harbored an aquatic invertebrate richness comparable to another Aechmea species (Aechmea distichantha Lem. ), which found 16 morphospecies of four insect orders (Amadeo et al, 2017). There are several factors that can influence the diversity of bromeliad invertebrate communities, from fluctuations of tank water volume and limnological parameters (Neves et al, 2019) to flowering events (Amadeo et al, 2017).…”

When it comes to rupicolous bromeliads near the sea, however, variations in salinity can also occur due to sea breeze.…”
