Water-filled tree holes are phytotelmata formed when rain collects in branch crotches and
other wood-lined cavities. Repeated surveys of natural and artificial water-filled tree holes …

Abiotic conditions differ from canopy to understory in rain forests. Many taxa are more
diverse or abundant in the canopy and/or have vertically stratified species distributions …

The fauna of water‐filled tree holes in Neotropical forests is not well documented.
Cumulatively, 54 macroinvertebrate and 5 vertebrate taxa were found in artificial and natural …

Predation and resource availability influence community structure in many aquatic
ecosystems. Predators (odonates) and resources (leaf litter) were manipulated to determine …

In the lowland moist forest of Barro Colorado Island (BCI), Panama, larvae of four common
species of odonates, a mosquito, and a tadpole are the major predators in water-filled tree …

Detritus quality and quantity affect macroinvertebrate productivity and distribution in many
freshwater ecosystems. This study experimentally investigated the effects of leaf litter from …

Water—filled treeholes provide an experimental setting for examining processes within an
ecosystem, and influences of external factors on those processes. Using a limnological …

Water‐filled tree holes are unique ecosystems that may occur high up in tree crowns and are
essentially aquatic islands in the sky. Insect larvae, mesofauna, and other organisms …

1. Water‐filled tree holes in a lowland forest in Panama harbour an assemblage of large
predators consisting of the larvae of five common species of Odonata, the mosquito …

Community composition may be determined by a variety of factors, including habitat
dimension, abiotic conditions, and biotic interactions. Habitat dimensions may influence …
