 Serra do JapiExperiment of exclusion covering streams to test the effects of allochthonous subsidies on riparian predators and food web structure. |  Serra do JapiEpiphytic and terrestrial bromeliads |  Serra do JapiSpider Peucetia upon inflorescences of Trichogoniopsis adenantha (Asteraceae). This is a mutualistic system mediated by glandular trichomes. |
 Serra do JapiPlant-pollinator-predator system. Crypsis in crab spiders. |  Serra do CipóRocky fields from a mountain hill. Plenty of carnivorous plants. Some of them are containers and support rich aquatic food webs. |  Serra do CipóPaepalanthus bromelioides. This is an Eriocaulaceae that accumulate rain water. This is a carnivorous plant. |
 Serra do CipóFrog inhabiting bromeliad |  Monte VerdeAbout 2000 m asl there are tank bromeliads living in inselbergs (upon rocks). |  Monte Verde"garotos da Mantiqueira". Gustavo, Eduardo and César. |

This system is mutualistic: plants provide shelter and spiders contribute to plant nutrition and growth. |
