  abstract = {{T}he tank bromeliads {A}echmea aquilega ({S}alisb.) and {C}atopsis berteroniana ({S}chultes f.) coexist on a sun-exposed {N}eotropical inselberg in {F}rench {G}uiana, where they permit conspicuous freshwater pools to form that differ in size, complexity and detritus content. {W}e sampled the algal communities (both eukaryotic and cyanobacterial taxa, including colourless forms) inhabiting either {A}. aquilega (n = 31) or {C}. berteroniana (n = 30) and examined differences in community composition and biomass patterns in relation to several biotic and abiotic variables. {C}hlorella sp. and {B}umilleriopsis sp. were the most common taxa and dominated the algal biomass in {A}. aquilega and {C}. berteroniana, respectively. {U}sing a redundancy analysis, we found that water volume, habitat complexity and the density of phagotrophic protozoa and collector-gatherer invertebrates were the main factors explaining the distribution of the algal taxa among the samples. {H}ierarchical clustering procedures based on abundance and presence/ absence data clearly segregated the samples according to bromeliad species, revealing that the algal communities in the smaller bromeliad species were not a subset of the communities found in the larger bromeliad species. {W}e conclude that, even though two coexisting tank bromeliad populations create adjacent aquatic habitats, each population hosts a distinct algal community. {H}ence, bromeliad diversity is thought to promote the local diversity of freshwater algae in the {N}eotropics.},
