Título: Ecological interactions between amphibian larvae and aquatic macrophytes Resumen: Despite the wealth of knowledge of ecology of amphibian larvae, their functional role within aquatic systems is relatively poorly studied. In this thesis we study the interactions between amphibian larvae and other trophic levels present in temporary ponds, especially with aquatic macrophytes. We focus on the effects of tadpole herbivory on native aquatic macrophytes, studying the consequences for the reproductive phenology and effort of the plants, under different contexts of long lasting vs. dry down water levels. Moreover, we are also assessing the effects of an invasive plant, Azolla filoculoides on native macrophytes and zooplankton, and how these effects can cascade onto amphibian larvae. Finally, we are also studying different aspects of the dispersal of seeds of aquatic macrophytes by tadpoles, and the possibility of secondary long distance dispersal as a consequence of bird predation on amphibian larvae.
