Are small water bodies inside epiphytic bromeliads breeding habitats for cacao pollinators?

Bromeliad plants are a common sight in the Neotropics. Within their leaf axils small water bodies form habitats for a diverse group of organisms. While the aquatic communities inside bromeliads are increasingly studied, relatively little is known about their composition in agricultural settings. In this
survey, we studied bromeliad infauna in cacao agroforestry systems in Central Nicaragua
