Phytotelmata, or plant-held water bodies, occur all over the world and include bromeliads, pitcher plants tree holes. Largely ignored, these habitats can house surprisingly diverse aquatic invertebrate communities. To complement existing overviews of insect-dominated phytotelm inquilines, we assembled information on Crustacea in phytotelmata worldwide with records 100 species freshwater crustaceans, illustrating relatively common presence crustaceans habitats. The are patchily distributed...
Bromeliads (Bromeliaceae) are an extremely diverse family of the angiosperms widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions Americas West Africa. They often serve as phytotelmata, accumulating rainwater between leaves. Such water reservoirs can be inhabited by organisms. But to date not much attention is paid inventory these organisms, with careful identification each taxon. We found a microcrustacean Disparalona hamata (Birge, 1879) (Crustacea: Cladocera) bromeliad Tillandsia...
