Trophic egg feeders
Some
tree frogs lay their in tree holes, bromeliads, and leaf axils, and they lay
non-fertile, but protein rich eggs
which the tadpoles snack on. The tadpoles eat the eggs and more or less
independent from the food web within the container. Some tadpoles are adopt to a
mixed feeding strategy with trophic eggs and part of their diet. Of course, they
are themselves and are prey for larger predators for these systems. A lot of
other species of animals have been encountered time to time in phytotelms and
Annexe deals with most of these records. Other groups then been little
stuided;and include the spiders which may form time to time pluck the prey from
within the aquatic food webs. The hymnopterous larvae may have parasitic
association with the aquatic species within phytotelms. In other aspects of
community ecology, phytotelms provide convient model systems for study of this
key area that interaction between aquatic terrestrial communities.
