  abstract = {{C}ontext {M}any aquatic communities are linked by the aerial dispersal of multiple, interacting species and are thus structured by processes occurring in both the aquatic and terrestrial compartments of the ecosystem. {O}bjectives {T}o evaluate the environmental factors shaping the aquatic macroinvertebrate communities associated with tank bromeliads in an urban landscape. {M}ethods {T}hirty-two bromeliads were georeferenced to assess the spatial distribution of the aquatic metahabitat in one city. {T}he relative influence of the aquatic and terrestrial habitats on the structure of macroin-vertebrate communities was analyzed at four spatial scales (radius = 10, 30, 50, and 70 m) using redundancy analyses. {R}esults {W}e sorted 18,352 aquatic macroinvertebrates into 29 taxa. {W}ater volume and the amount of organic matter explained a significant part of the taxa variance, regardless of spatial scale. {T}he remaining variance was explained by the meta-habitat size (i.e., the water volume for all of the bromeliads within a given surface area), the distance to the nearest building at small scales, and the surface area of buildings plus ground cover at larger scales. {A}t small scales, the meta-habitat size influenced the two most frequent mosquito species in opposite ways, suggesting spatial competition and coexistence. {G}reater vegetation cover favored the presence of a top predator. {C}onclusions {T}he size of the meta-habitat and urban landscape characteristics influence the structure of aquatic communities in tank bromeliads, including mosquito larval abundance. {M}odifications to this landscape will affect both the terrestrial and aquatic compartments of the urban ecosystem, offering prospects for mosquito management during urban planning.},
