Overview
Metacommunity theory allows predictions about the dynamics of potentially interacting species' assemblages that are linked by dispersal, but strong empirical tests of the theory are rare. We analyzed the metacommunity dynamics of Florida rosemary scrub, a patchily distributed pyrogenic community, to test predictions about turnover rates, community nestedness, and responses to patch size, arrangement, and quality. We collected occurrence data for 45 plant species from 88 rosemary scrub patches in 1989 and 2005 and used growth form, mechanism of regeneration after fire, and degree of habitat specialization to categorize species by life history. We tested whether patch size, fire history, and structural connectivity (a measure of proximity and size of surrounding patches) could be used to predict apparent extinctions and colonizations. In addition, we tested the accuracy of incidence-function models built with the patch survey data from 1989. After fire local extinction rates were higher for herbs than woody plants, higher for species that regenerated only from seed than species able to resprout, and higher for generalist than specialist species. Fewer rosemary specialists and a higher proportion of habitat generalists were extirpated on recently burned patches than on patches not burned between 1989 and 2005. Nestedness was highest for specialists among all life-history groups. Estimated model parameters from 1989 predicted the observed (1989-2005) extinction rates and the number of patches with persistent populations of individual species. These results indicate that species with different life-history strategies within the same metacommunity can have substantially different responses to patch configuration and quality. Real metacommunities may not conform to certain assumptions of simple models, but incidence-function models that consider only patch size, configuration, and quality can have significant predictive accuracy.Original Abstract: Resumen:La teoria de metacomunidades permite predicciones de la dinamica de ensambles de especies potencialmente interactuantes que estan conectadas mediante la dispersion, pero son raras pruebas empiricas robustas de la teoria. Analizamos la dinamica de la metacomunidad de matorral de romero de Florida, una comunidad pirogenica distribuida heterogeneamente, para probar predicciones sobre tasas de recambio, anidamiento de la comunidad y respuestas al tamano, arreglo y calidad del parche. Recolectamos datos de ocurrencia de 45 especies de plantas en 88 parches de matorral de romero en 1989 y 2005 y utilizamos la forma de crecimiento, el mecanismo de regeneracion despues de fuego y el nivel de especializacion de habitat para clasificar a las especies por historia natural. Probamos si el tamano del parche, la historia de incendios y la conectividad estructural (una medida de proximidad y tamano de parches circundantes) se podrian utilizar para predecir las extinciones y colonizaciones aparentes. Adicionalmente, probamos la precision de los modelos de funcion de incidencia que desarrollamos con los datos del muestreo de parches en 1989. Despues de un incendio, las tasas de extincion local fueron mayores para hierbas que para plantas lenosas, mayores para especies que regeneraban solo de semillas que para especies capaces de rebrotar y mayores para especies generalistas que especialistas. Pocas especialistas y una mayor proporcion de generalistas fueron extirpadas de parches recien quemados que de parches no quemados entre 1989 y 2005. El anidamiento fue mayor para especialistas en comparacion con los demas grupos de historia de vida. Los parametros estimados por el modelo con datos de 1989 predijeron las tasas de extincion observadas (1989-2005) y el numero de parches con poblaciones persistentes. Estos resultados indican que especies con diferentes estrategias de historia de vida dentro de la misma metacomunidad pueden tener respuestas sustancialmente diferentes a la configuracion y calidad de los parches. Puede que las metacomunidades reales no cumplan con ciertas suposiciones de modelos simples, pero los modelos de funcion de incidencia que solo consideran el tamano, la configuracion y calidad del parche pueden tener una precision predictiva significativa.
