- Abstract
The bromeliad habitat contributes to a high biodiversity and we recorded three treefrog species as new phoretic agents of ostracods, and a first case of hyperphoresy among treefrogs, ostracods and ciliates, in these habitats of Atlantic Forest. Densities of ciliates and ostracods showed significant relationships suggesting the importance of hyperphoresy for ciliate dispersion.
