Terrestrial support of aquatic food webs depends on light inputs: A geographically-replicated test using tank bromeliads
(2016-08-01)
Food webs of freshwater ecosystems can be subsidized by allochthonous resources. However, it is still unknown which environmental factors regulate the relative consumption of allochthonous resources in relation to autochthonous ...
Climate influences the response of community functional traits to local conditions in bromeliad invertebrate communities
(2021-03-01)
Functional traits determine an organism's performance in a given environment and as such determine which organisms will be found where. Species respond to local conditions, but also to larger scale gradients, such as ...
Native bromeliads as biomonitors of airborne chemical elements in a Brazilian restinga forest
(SPRINGER, 2008)
Epiphytic bromeliads have been used as biomonitors of air pollution since they have specialized structures in leaves for absorbing humidity and nutrients available in the atmosphere. Leaves of five bromeliad species were ...
Fine-scale microhabitat selection in a bromeliad-dwelling jumping spider (Salticidae)
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2008-08-01)
Although a wide variety of arthropods specialize on a specific host plant, little is known about the evolution of host-plant specialization in spiders. In several regions of South America, the Neotropical jumping spider ...
Environmental DNA as a non-invasive alternative for surveying aquatic communities in tank bromeliads
(2021-01-01)
Tank bromeliads provide a freshwater microhabitat for a rich aquatic community, including amphibian species. Some of these amphibians are threatened, among other factors, because their host plants are also threatened. DNA ...
Fine-scale microhabitat selection in a bromeliad-dwelling jumping spider (Salticidae)
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2008-08-01)
Although a wide variety of arthropods specialize on a specific host plant, little is known about the evolution of host-plant specialization in spiders. In several regions of South America, the Neotropical jumping spider ...
Infructescence size has a larger effect than light environment on the abundance of different arthropod feeding guilds dwelling on the infructescences of a terrestrial bromeliad in a xerophytic forest
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2017-09)
Bromeliads are a conspicuous feature of many Neotropical xerophytic forests. Bromelia serra is an understory bromeliad living in xerophytic forests of the Humid Chaco, which shows high phenotypic plasticity when exposed ...
Mosquito (Diptera: Culicidae) assemblages associated with Nidularium and Vriesea bromeliads in Serra do Mar, Atlantic Forest, Brazil
(2012-02-16)
Abstract
Background
The most substantial and best preserved area of Atlantic Forest is within the biogeographical sub-region of Serra do Mar. The topographic complexity of the ...
