  abstract = {{U}nderstanding the relative importance of habitat and biotic drivers on community assembly across food web components is an important step towards predicting the consequences of environmental changes. {B}ecause documenting entire food webs is often impractical, this question has been only partially investigated. {H}ere, we partitioned variation in species assemblages of the major components of tank bromeliad food webs (bacteria, algae, protozoans, detritivorous and predatory invertebrates) into habitat and biotic determinants and examined the influence of habitat variables and predator or prey abundance on all taxonomic assemblages. {E}cological determinism of assemblage structure ranged from weak in bacteria (< 10% of the explained variance) to strong in predatory invertebrates (90%). {H}abitat features and canopy openness significantly influenced species assemblages; however, prey or predator density had far and away the most significant structuring effects. {I}f biotic forces are at least as important as the abiotic forces while the importance of stochasticity declines towards upper trophic levels, then trophic levels could respond differently to natural or anthropogenic disturbance and to shifts in species distributions. {T}he effects of such differential responses on food web reconfiguration, however, remain to be elucidated.},
