In the first ecological study ever conducted on the nematofauna associated with natural phytotelmata, nematodes were systematically sampled during a 24 month-period in the phytotelmata of two bromeliad species in the Atlantic Forest, Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil. Samplings revealed a wide range of nematodes from the bacteriophagous, mycophagous, predator and ingestor of unicellular eukaryotes trophic groups. Plant-parasitic forms, probably contaminants, were only occasionally found. The trophic structure – assessed by the total abundance of nematodes and the abundance of nematodes per trophic group was significantly distinct among the leaf axils located at the three architectonic levels of the plants base, middle and upper particularly in Canistropsis billbergioides. The leaf axils located at the base and middle levels seemed more conducive to nematofauna. The nematofauna presented a seasonality significantly related to rainfall and temperature fluctuations, but this seasonality was not related to the amount of organic matter – mostly canopy litter – deposited in artificial collectors positioned next to the bromeliads.
