Genetically-based variation in the functional traits of keystone species can influence the composition of the community within which those species are embedded. Similarly, local adaptation to biotic and abiotic environmental variation can drive population-level variation in such traits. We test the hypothesis that local adaptation of a keystone plant can lead to variation among populations in the community of associated arthropods. Studying a strong environmental cline along the California coast, we test for local adaptation in the perennial shrub Artemisia californica and its consequences for the more than 200 species of associated arthropods.

Las altas temperaturas están provocando que las lagunas y las marismas de Doñana pierdan agua rápidamente

Las altas temperaturas están provocando que las lagunas y las marismas de Doñana pierdan agua rápidamente
La superficie inundada en la marisma es de un 78% pero la profundidad es escasa. Por otra parte, sólo el 1,9% de las lagunas temporales están inundadas. Las precipitaciones crean una oportunidad para la cría de aves acuáticas, pero su éxito dependerá de la duración del agua disponible

Urbanization and loss of woody vegetation are changing key traits of arthropod communities

Urbanization and loss of woody vegetation are changing key traits of arthropod communities
Urbanization is favouring smaller beetle species and larger spider species with greater dispersal capacity.

The loss of woody areas is linked to a decline in the duration of the activity period, a higher tolerance to drought, and less dispersal capacity in both groups.
