	abstract = {The life histories of eight species of insects which live in the water-filled bracts of Heliconia wagneriana and H. imbricata are studied. Development times of larval forms are directly correlated with the length of time an inflorescence survives on a plant. Few predators were collected from these inflorescences. It is hypothesized that low predation rates may be important in the evolution of insects living in Heliconia inflorescences.},

	abstract = {This study explores biogeographic patterns among insect communities which live in the water-filled floral bracts of Heliconia plants. Twenty-five collections from 13 Neotropical locations are studied using a principal components analysis where the collections are ordinated on the basis of the frequency of occurrence of the 23 most common insect morpho species. Heliconia species from the French Antilles show a depauperate insect community, apparently due to island isolation. Floral structure is important in determining the insect community: Heliconia species with small floral bracts have low species richness and only one Heliconia species with a pendant inflorescence has an aquatic or semi-aquatic insect community. Different Heliconia species collected from the same location do not necessarily have comparable insect species communities.},
