Harpellales (Zygomycota: Trichomycetes) fungi are cosmopolitan obligate inhabitants of the gut of immature insects. A bi-weekly survey of gut fungi associated with chironomid (Chironomidae: Diptera) larvae living in the ...

The objective of this study was to determine how phytotelm communities differ in four Eryngium sp. of different morphologies. Macro-invertebrate communities from 320 individual plants of Eryngiumhorridum, E. stenophyllum, ...

Studies on cyanobacterial diversity in bromeliad phytotelmata are scarce, despite their ecological importance in this environment, including N-2 fixation for bromeliad nutrition. Here we discuss the morphological and ...

To determine if phytotelmata of sympatric bamboos of the genus Guadua might be colonized by different types of arthropods and form communities of different complexity the following objectives were formulated: to analyze ...
