Heliconia tortuosa bracts harbor a diverse and important trophic level on which many organisms depend for their nutritional intake. The species diversity and abundance of macroinvertebrates living in the bracts of H. tortuosa were measured along an elevational gradient in premontane wet and lower montane wet forests in Monteverde, Costa Rica. Inflorescences were collected between 1370 m and 1680 m, and the macroinvertebrate contents were identified to the level of order. The data were separated into equal one hundred meter elevational bands for analysis. There was a significant difference between the diversity of macroinvertebrates in the lower elevational band and the higher elevational band, perhaps suggesting a subtle decrease in insect ...
