The effects of rain and fallen debris on macroinvertebrate colonization of artificial water tanks and their implications for bromeliad communities

RESUMEN: Las bromelias son componentes importantes de los bosques tropicales y sus hojas forman tanques con microecosistemas únicos. Hasta hace poco no había estudios experimentales de cómo llegan los macroinvertebrados a esos tanques. Colocamos 150 vasos plásticos ("bromelias artificiales"...

Until recently, there were no experiments of how macroinvertebrates reach these tanks. We placed 150 plastic cups ("artificial bromeliads") in a Costa Rican forest and found that when debris and rain are experimentally blocked, some groups are not found in the tanks (including the medically important Culicidae) or differ in frequency between treatment and control.KEY WORDS: tropical ecology, bromeliad experiments, Culicidae in phytotelmanta, Costa Rica, microhabitat colonization.
