Abstract

We have compared fauna richness and abundance associated with terrestrial bromeliads of an Atlantic Forest and adjacent “campo rupestre” habitats at Serra da Jibóia, Bahia, Brazil. The mean numbers of species and animals related to Atlantic Forest and “campo rupestre” were very similar. Only in Atlantic Forest, the number of species and animals were significatively correlated with bromeliad size. The number of immature individual or larval phases was significantly higher in the Atlantic Forest than in “campo rupestre”. Araneae was the most diversified group in the Atlantic Forest and Coleoptera in the “campo rupestre”. However, most of Araneae species had very low abundance and the most abundant species in Atlantic forest was one of Coleoptera group. One species of Diptera (larva) and other of Coleoptera were the two most abundant species in campo rupestre.
