To date most studies have focused on narrow taxonomic groups or lack a design that allows partitioning of the components of diversity. Here, we consider an exceptionally large dataset (113,952 individuals representing 5,858 species), obtained from the San Lorenzo forest in Panama, where the phylogenetic breadth of arthropod taxa was surveyed using 14 protocols targeting the soil, litter, understory, lower and upper canopy habitats, replicated across seasons in 2003 and 2004. This dataset is used to explore the relative influence of horizontal, vertical and seasonal drivers of arthropod distribution in this forest. We considered arthropod abundance, observed and estimated species richness, additive decomposition of species richness, multiplicative partitioning of species diversity, variation in species composition, species turnover and guild structure as components of diversity. At the scale of our study (2km of distance, 40m in height and 400 days), the effects related to the vertical and seasonal dimensions were most important. Most adult arthropods were collected from the soil/litter or the upper canopy and species richness was highest in the canopy. We compared the distribution of arthropods and trees within our study system. Effects related to the seasonal dimension were stronger for arthropods than for trees. We conclude that: (1) models of beta diversity developed for tropical trees are unlikely to be applicable to tropical arthropods; (2) it is imperative that estimates of global biodiversity derived from mass collecting of arthropods in tropical rainforests embrace the strong vertical and seasonal partitioning observed here; and (3) given the high species turnover observed between seasons, global climate change may have severe consequences for rainforest arthropods.</p></div></front><back><div1 type="bibliography"><listBibl><biblStruct><analytic><author><name sortKey="Basset, Y"

To date most studies have focused on narrow taxonomic groups or lack a design that allows partitioning of the components of diversity. Here, we consider an exceptionally large dataset (113,952 individuals representing 5,858 species), obtained from the San Lorenzo forest in Panama, where the phylogenetic breadth of arthropod taxa was surveyed using 14 protocols targeting the soil, litter, understory, lower and upper canopy habitats, replicated across seasons in 2003 and 2004. This dataset is used to explore the relative influence of horizontal, vertical and seasonal drivers of arthropod distribution in this forest. We considered arthropod abundance, observed and estimated species richness, additive decomposition of species richness, multiplicative partitioning of species diversity, variation in species composition, species turnover and guild structure as components of diversity. At the scale of our study (2km of distance, 40m in height and 400 days), the effects related to the vertical and seasonal dimensions were most important. Most adult arthropods were collected from the soil/litter or the upper canopy and species richness was highest in the canopy. We compared the distribution of arthropods and trees within our study system. Effects related to the seasonal dimension were stronger for arthropods than for trees. We conclude that: (1) models of beta diversity developed for tropical trees are unlikely to be applicable to tropical arthropods; (2) it is imperative that estimates of global biodiversity derived from mass collecting of arthropods in tropical rainforests embrace the strong vertical and seasonal partitioning observed here; and (3) given the high species turnover observed between seasons, global climate change may have severe consequences for rainforest arthropods.</p></abstract><funding-group><funding-statement>Core funding was provided from SolVin-Solvay SA, STRI, the United Nations Environment Programme, the Smithsonian Institution (Walcott Fund), the European Science Foundation, and the Global Canopy Programme.

The diversity of arthropod feeding guilds and functional niches observed in tropical rainforests is also unparalleled [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref001" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref002" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>]. Comparatively little is known, however, about the factors driving high spatio-temporal variation in this local diversity among its component dimensions of space and time. We propose that (1) quantifying the relative influence of local factors affecting the present day distribution of arthropods is a necessary first step towards scrutinizing the global distribution of biodiversity on Earth, and (2) assessing these factors for different taxa and functional groups is crucial for understanding biodiversity and for developing sound strategies for arthropod conservation in tropical rainforests. Here, the mere documentation of spatio-temporal patterns and of how they vary among taxa represent an important first step in itself.</p><p>Ecologists are often concerned with quantifying animal or plant distribution with regard to historical factors [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref003" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>], latitudinal or altitudinal gradients [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref004" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>], geographic distance [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref005" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>] or seasonality [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref006" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>]. All these dimensions of species diversity depend on scale [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref007" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref008" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>] and the appropriate scale for examination may also depend on the ecosystem and the organisms considered. For example, many ecological models include the pattern of decreasing community similarity with geographical distance [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref005" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref009" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>]. It is thought that the distance decay of similarity can be attributed to three potential mechanisms: niche-based processes, spatial configuration dictating the dispersal rate of organisms, and neutral processes such as random dispersal or speciation [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref009" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref010" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>]. Although these are often treated as branching alternatives, niche-based explanations are (in principle) not necessarily incompatible with dispersal limitation in an ecologically neutral habitat [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref011" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>]. We would further suggest here that these concepts might apply diversely to different taxa. Even though not as widely recognized, the distance decay of similarity can also be applied in temporal studies, where similarity can be plotted against the temporal distance between observations [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref012" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>].</p><p>With respect to tropical arthropod communities, the scale of a whole rainforest, or a large portion of say several square kilometers, surpasses the trivial dispersal distance of most species by several orders of magnitude. At these scales, it is realistic to assess both the horizontal and vertical spatial turnover among local communities, and whether or not these are determined by differences in habitat structure or physical factors, over and above random dispersal dynamics on an ecological time-scale. Understanding the drivers of the spatio-temporal organization of communities at the scale of the forest is essential to understanding and conserving tropical arthropod biodiversity [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref013" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>]. If beta-diversity scaling relationships differ among disparate organisms, then conservation strategies aimed at preventing the loss of species will have to consider the requirements of multiple taxa at multiple spatial scales [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref013" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>]. To date, most studies have focused on a few assemblages only (e.g. butterflies, beetles: [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref014" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>–<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref017" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>]) and have rarely been designed to allow the explicit partitioning of components of arthropod diversity. Here, we consider a uniquely large dataset for the San Lorenzo forest in Panama. Within this forest, we surveyed the full phylogenetic breadth of arthropod taxa using 14 structured protocols targeting microhabitats from the soil to the upper canopy, and replicated across seasons in 2003 and 2004. We use this dataset to explore the relative contributions of horizontal, vertical and seasonal variation to the total distribution in space and time of arthropods in this forest.</p><p>In lowland tropical rainforests, one of the obvious spatial gradients of species change (hereafter referred to as ‘dimension’, so as not to assume the existence of an autocorrelated gradient per se) is related to geographic distance, as tropical rainforests are notoriously heterogeneous environments [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref018" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>]. Faunal changes in this horizontal dimension may be driven by multiple factors, including forest dynamics [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref019" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>], the presence of host-plants and their relatives for herbivores [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref020" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>], soil properties affecting the quality of host-plants for herbivores [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref021" ref-type="bibr">21</xref>], distance from forest edge [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref022" ref-type="bibr">22</xref>], or even neutral processes that incorporate distance-decay of dispersal [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref018" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>]. Since geographic distance is two-dimensional, the spatio-temporal distribution of arthropods in a rainforest is actually described by four dimensions (hence the title of our contribution).</p><p>A seasonal dimension may result from temporal heterogeneity in the biodiversity of different habitats, reflecting varying availability of resources, or microclimates [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref023" ref-type="bibr">23</xref>]. It has long been known that faunal changes induced by seasonality can be significant in “aseasonal” tropical climates [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref024" ref-type="bibr">24</xref>]. Moreover, other biotic processes, such as resource competition and predation/prey dynamics, also influence this seasonal dimension, particularly in tropical rainforests [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref025" ref-type="bibr">25</xref>]. We thus use the term “seasonal dimension” to distinguish these effects from those related to diel activity and inter-annual changes, even though these may also be important drivers of variation in biodiversity. Plant growth is shaped by competition for light, promoting floristic changes in the vertical dimension, from forest floor to canopy [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref026" ref-type="bibr">26</xref>]. Faunal changes, promoted by various mechanisms, are also significant within this dimension [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref015" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>]. In forests, the vertical dimension encompasses habitats from the subsoil to the upper canopy.</p><p>A priori, we expect that in tall closed tropical rainforests plant turnover may be substantial between the understory and the upper canopy (see below for definition of these terms). Hence we conjecture that at the scale of the whole forest stand (or slightly smaller scales) changes in arthropod species along the vertical dimension are substantial, and more important than corresponding changes observed in the horizontal and temporal dimensions. We also expect differences between short-lived (arthropods) and long-lived (trees) organisms with the temporal dimension being more significant for the former within the seasonal dimension. In this context, we ask the following specific questions:</p><list list-type="order"><list-item><p>What is the relative contribution of horizontal, vertical and seasonal dimensions to the variation of arthropod biodiversity in a closed-canopy tropical rainforest?

Twelve 20 x 20 m sites (coded as B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, F1, F2, F3, I1, R1, R2 and R3), all less than 2 km apart, were surveyed for plants and arthropods, from the ground to the upper canopy.

Hence our protocols ensured that most of the vertical profile of the forest was surveyed. The soil was surveyed to a depth of 5cm. For simplicity, samples of soil and litter were jointly regarded as “litter”. Understory samples were collected 0 to 3m above the forest floor, lower canopy (hereafter “canopy” for sake of brevity) samples were collected from 3 to 35m above the ground, and upper canopy samples from heights above 35m. This last habitat may be defined as the canopy surface (the interface between the uppermost layer of leaves and the atmosphere) and the volume immediately below (a few meters; [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref015" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>]). The above terms do not necessarily mean that the forest is stratified: they are simply convenient to describe the vertical location of samples.</p><p>To analyse the samples, we established a consortium of 102 researchers with expertise encompassing the full breadth of phylogenies and feeding modes present among arthropods. This consortium invested a total of 24,354 trap- (or person-) days sampling the San Lorenzo forest using structured protocols [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref001" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>]. These protocols included: Winkler sifting; Berlese-Tullgren extraction; hand-collecting of galls and social insects; fogging; beating; wood-rearing; baits and various types of traps such as pitfall, small and large flight-interception, sticky, light, and Malaise traps. All of the protocols and their characteristics are detailed in [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref030" ref-type="bibr">30</xref>] (and see <xref rid="pone.0144110.g001" ref-type="fig">Fig 1</xref>). After an initial sampling period of 6 weeks during the late wet season (September-October 2003, hereafter Survey S1), we replicated field work during three similar sampling periods targeting the dry, early wet and late wet seasons (Survey S2: February-March 2004, Survey S3: May-June 2004, Survey S4: October-November 2004). During this extended sampling period, flight-interception, sticky and Malaise traps were run for extended periods (flight-interception traps continuously from October 2003 to October 2004). Temporal replicates thus ensured that arthropod seasonality was accounted for. No endangered species were collected or disturbed as part of the study. <xref rid="pone.0144110.g001" ref-type="fig">Fig 1</xref> provides a schematic drawing of the full sampling design, with explicit scales and dimensions.</p><p>Focal arthropods were sorted to named species or morphospecies by taxonomists and assigned to the following arthropod guilds: ants, phytophages, fungivores, predators, parasitoids and scavengers (see <xref rid="pone.0144110.s014" ref-type="supplementary-material">S1 Text</xref> for further details about taxonomic sorting and guild assignment).

We evaluated the effects of horizontal, vertical and seasonal dimensions for four main categories of arthropod variables: (1) abundance, (2) observed and estimated species richness, (3) species composition and faunal similarity and (4) guild structure. Because of the great number of protocols used at the different sites, within different habitats and surveys, a full factorial design (sites x habitats x surveys) allowing the partitioning of insect variables among the three dimensions, was not always possible. In addition, some protocols were only valid for particular habitats (e.g., Winkler extractions targeting the litter fauna). There were also obvious physical limitations as, for example, bulky flight-interception and light traps could rarely be placed in the upper canopy, as opposed to small and light sticky traps. When partitioning the insect variance in the horizontal, vertical and seasonal dimensions, we opted to include the datasets best balanced in the dimension of relevance for the analysis, as explained below and in <xref rid="pone.0144110.s014" ref-type="supplementary-material">S1 Text</xref>. We also restricted our data to protocols that targeted multiple taxa (i.e., we excluded single taxon bee and termite protocols, [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref030" ref-type="bibr">30</xref>]). This limited our analyses to the 10 following protocols, listed in order of decreasing number of individuals collected: Berlese-Tullgren, flight-intercept trap (FIT), ground flight-intercept trap, light trap, fogging, Malaise trap, Winkler, sticky trap, pitfall trap and beating.</p></sec><sec id="sec006"><title>Arthropod abundance and species richness</title><p>For analyses of arthropod abundance and species richness we restricted the dataset to species that were collected with at least a probability of being present as a single individual at all study sites (i.e., minimal number of individuals collected ≥ 12). This entire dataset so defined included 98,793 individuals representing 1,041 species distributed among 12 sites, four habitats along vertical gradients, and four seasonal surveys, with more specific subsets used in given analyses (see below and <xref rid="pone.0144110.s014" ref-type="supplementary-material">S1 Text</xref>). To evaluate the effect of horizontal, vertical and seasonal dimensions on arthropod abundance and species richness we used Kruskal-Wallis tests, considering protocols that maximized replicates among sites, habitats or surveys, or were more comprehensive (e.g., fogging for studying the variance among sites). For each of these analyses, we calculated an effect size based on the highest and lowest mean of samples. We also performed mixed-effects ANOVAs examining the relative influence of sites, habitats and surveys with much smaller data sets appropriate to this end. In a similar fashion, we ran all of these analyses for the abundance of the main arthropod guilds collected in samples.

There are currently two main frameworks, additive and multiplicative, to partition species richness or diversity, and both are complementary for the interpretation of a robust estimation of biodiversity [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref031" ref-type="bibr">31</xref>]. Following Marcon et al. [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref031" ref-type="bibr">31</xref>], we call them the additive decomposition of species richness and multiplicative partitioning of species diversity, respectively. The first analysis refers more particularly to changes in species richness irrespective of the relative abundance of species, whereas the second one takes into account the relative commonness and rarity of species, and further minimizes the influence of sample size [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref032" ref-type="bibr">32</xref>]. Recent debates about additive vs. multiplicative diversity partitioning have emphasized questions about the additive partitioning of species diversity but not that of species richness [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref033" ref-type="bibr">33</xref>]. As a straightforward analysis, we used the following method for the additive decomposition of species richness:

Using the terminology of Anderson et al.

Our sampling protocols targeted adult arthropods. Typically, arthropods have short-lived adults that can reproduce immediately but for a short period. Our plant data, derived from the botanical plots at San Lorenzo, are limited to trees. Thus, in the context of this study, an adult arthropod is analogous to a mature tree in a reproductive state. Our various comparisons between trees and arthropods are based on this analogy and logic. For tree abundance, we considered the total number of stems recorded per site in the horizontal dimension, and the number of seedlings, saplings and trees per habitat in the vertical dimension (<xref rid="pone.0144110.s014" ref-type="supplementary-material">S1 Text</xref>).

We compared effect sizes for arthropods and trees in the horizontal, vertical and seasonal dimensions. Additive decomposition of species richness and multiplicative partitioning of species diversity was performed with data for flowering trees during surveys 1–4. Variation partitioning was performed on these data in a fashion similar to that for arthropods, with the exception that seasonal variables included total rainfall, average temperature, wind speed and radiation during Surveys 1–4.

Out of 228 tree species occurring within our sites, 25 species were flowering at some point during Surveys 1–4.

For flowering trees, sample size was too small to estimate alpha and the other multiplicative components of species diversity reliably. The variation explained in the species composition among samples of flowering trees by horizontal, vertical and seasonal variables was lower (14%) than for arthropods. Not surprisingly, this variation was mostly explained by seasonal variables, such as rainfall, temperature, wind and radiation (<xref rid="pone.0144110.g005" ref-type="fig">Fig 5b</xref>).

eukaryotes on Earth, tropical rainforest arthropods, remains poorly understood. Thus, the basic documentation of patterns within even single forest constitutes a first step towards understanding how the main part of biodiversity is structured. In this study, we partitioned arthropod diversity and abundance into components of the horizontal (sites), vertical (habitats) and seasonal (surveys) dimensions of a tropical rainforest. Overall, the vertical and seasonal dimensions both had a stronger imprint on arthropod distribution than had the horizontal dimension (<xref rid="pone.0144110.t002" ref-type="table">Table 2</xref>). In addition, arthropod guilds differed in their specific response to each dimension. Comparing arthropods to much-better studied trees, the horizontal dimension had a stronger impact on the distribution of trees than on arthropods, whereas the seasonal dimension had stronger effects on the distribution of arthropods than on trees. Below we discuss briefly salient questions related to the patterns observed along the horizontal, vertical and seasonal dimensions. We then turn to the main implications of our results for models of tropical beta diversity, global biodiversity estimates and the conservation of tropical arthropods.</p><p>With regard to the horizontal dimension, a meta-analysis by Soininen [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref012" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>] indicated that a halving of the initial faunal similarity of a variety of assemblages occurred after 639 km (although few of these studies included arthropods). In our comparisons over distances of 24-1941m, no significant decay of similarity with distance was observed, with the exception of phytophages, for which initial similarity halved after 340 m (<xref rid="pone.0144110.s009" ref-type="supplementary-material">S9 Fig</xref>). Interestingly, several studies involving tropical moths [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref018" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref041" ref-type="bibr">41</xref>] and to a lesser extent tropical insect herbivores [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref020" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>] also reported a distance decay of similarity. Since moths are not that vagile and typically rather oligophagous, their distribution can be best thought of as paralleling that of their host plants, which in turn can be explained by neutral processes [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref018" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref027" ref-type="bibr">27</xref>]. Our data indicate that this pattern is not shared with other arthropod guilds, which have a weaker association with plants than do the phytophages. While part of the current patterns could be biased towards high dissimilarities due to under-sampling bias (i.e. the effect of drawing a relatively small sample from a very large species pool), such biases should be similar in the three dimensions. Thus, comparisons of relative similarity should be valid among dimensions.</p><p>In which vertical habitat(s), then, do most arthropod species occur in the San Lorenzo forest? This is not an easy question to answer, because our protocols targeted adults whereas many larvae or nymphs may depend on habitats other than those where adults were collected (e.g. [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref042" ref-type="bibr">42</xref>]). If we simply ask in which habitats do adult arthropod species concentrate, it is clear that a significant proportion of biodiversity occurs in the soil/litter (e.g. [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref016" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>]), but that the rate of species accumulation in this habitat is not as steep as for the others (<xref rid="pone.0144110.s004" ref-type="supplementary-material">S4 Fig</xref>). The canopy is probably where a great many species thrive as adults (<xref rid="pone.0144110.s012" ref-type="supplementary-material">S2 Table</xref>, <xref rid="pone.0144110.s004" ref-type="supplementary-material">S4</xref> and <xref rid="pone.0144110.s005" ref-type="supplementary-material">S5</xref> Figs).</p><p>The seasonal dimension and associated variables (rainfall, degree-days, radiation, different categories of litterfall as proxy for plant phenology, <xref rid="pone.0144110.g005" ref-type="fig">Fig 5a</xref>) also had strong effects on the distribution of arthropods at San Lorenzo, as has been reported for many studies in tropical rainforests (reviewed in [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref015" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>] and [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref043" ref-type="bibr">43</xref>]). Our study included one full year of data and did not account for inter-annual variation in arthropod abundance and species richness, which may be pronounced in the tropics [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref017" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref023" ref-type="bibr">23</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref024" ref-type="bibr">24</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref044" ref-type="bibr">44</xref>]. For example, important differences in seasonality exist among adult beetles of an Australian tropical rainforest depending on their feeding ecology, body size, and whether they live in the canopy or near the ground [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref044" ref-type="bibr">44</xref>]. Studies of temperate and tropical beetles [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref044" ref-type="bibr">44</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref045" ref-type="bibr">45</xref>] also suggested that temporal patterns for arthropod species in temperate trees may not be more coordinated than those in tropical trees (i.e., tropical arthropods may also have well defined peaks in activity). A strong gradient of species turnover in the seasonal dimension as reported in this study is consistent with this contention. Our model further indicated that the initial faunal similarity of assemblages was halved in about 76 days (<xref rid="pone.0144110.g006" ref-type="fig">Fig 6</xref>). This represents a much shorter time than the average 226 days reported in the meta-analysis of Soininen [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref012" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>].</p><p>Revisiting the main questions initially asked, we conclude the following:</p><list list-type="order"><list-item><p>The horizontal, vertical and seasonal dimensions all contribute significantly to the distribution in space and time of arthropods in the San Lorenzo forest. At the scale of our study (2km of distance, 40m in height and ca. 400 days of duration), effects related to the vertical and seasonal dimensions were equally important, followed by factors related to the horizontal dimension. We expect the effect of vertical factors to be even more significant at smaller scales, but to be progressively overshadowed by other factors at larger scales. Importantly, our results then indicate that in tropical lowland rainforests, factors related to the vertical dimension, which are often neglected, must be accounted for in any sound modeling of arthropod distribution in space and time. Our best models indicated that for the most disparate values recorded within this study in the horizontal (distance), vertical (height) and seasonal (time) dimensions, arthropod relative faunal similarity was 0.187, 0.116 and 0.108, respectively (average similarity = 0.256, 0.215 and 0.157, respectively). This suggests that arthropod assemblages are more similar in the horizontal dimension than in other dimensions, within the range of values targeted.</p></list-item><list-item><p>There were different patterns of distribution in space and time identifiable among arthropod guilds. In addition to the distance decay of similarity already discussed for phytophages, we can cite other examples. The abundance of ants was higher in the litter and canopy than in other habitats and significantly different among sites. This may reflect the sociality of these insects and requirements for the establishment of colonies. Phytophages were less abundant in the soil/litter as might be expected of primary consumers and, logically, a large fraction of their species richness was related to changes in the vertical dimension. These patterns were similar for predators, whose prey probably includes many phytophages. Fungivores were not so abundant in the soil/litter, whereas scavengers were abundant in this habitat but not so in the upper canopy. These observations emphasize the diversity in arthropod life-histories and the well known fact that it is near impossible to find examples of “umbrella species” for arthropods [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref046" ref-type="bibr">46</xref>].</p></list-item><list-item><p>Based on our sampling design, we were able to make a direct comparison of patterns among trees and arthropods at a common scale. We believe that such comparisons are informative by highlighting the differential conservation needs of long- and short-lived organisms. For most responses assessed, effect sizes within the horizontal dimension were similar or larger for trees than for arthropods (<xref rid="pone.0144110.t002" ref-type="table">Table 2</xref>). This observation probably relates to dispersal mode (and possibly to differing levels of under-sampling bias). This may be expected when comparing large and sedentary organisms dispersing with propagules (trees) vs. small and mobile organisms, most of them actively dispersing at the adult stage (arthropods). Within the vertical dimension, effect sizes were similar among trees and arthropods. This observation appears to be related to the distribution of juveniles and reproductive units. For trees, infertile saplings occur in the understory whereas most reproductive units occur in the canopy or upper canopy. For arthropods, immature stages frequently live in a different vertical habitat than do adults (often in the soil/litter vs. canopy/upper canopy, respectively) [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref015" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref016" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref042" ref-type="bibr">42</xref>]. Finally, within the seasonal dimension, effect sizes were similar or smaller for trees than for arthropods. This observation is probably related to differences in the organisms’ lifespan. Long-lived organisms (trees) are more likely to be resilient in the face of seasonal weather extremes and buffered against shortages of resources than are short-lived organisms (arthropods).</p></list-item></list><p>Taken together, our findings come with three main implications. First, our data suggest that arthropods are more finely segregated along the seasonal dimension than are trees. Conversely, trees may be more finely segregated along the horizontal dimension than are arthropods. Given this contrast, serious questions must be asked whether models of beta diversity developed for tropical trees [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref027" ref-type="bibr">27</xref>] are relevant to tropical arthropods, which represent the majority of biodiversity? For example, Condit et al. [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref027" ref-type="bibr">27</xref>] examined a model based on the neutral theory [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref010" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>] describing how tree similarity should change with distance in a community where only dispersal and speciation affect species distribution. The model fitted tree species distribution well from 0.2 to 50 km for datasets originating from Panama and Ecuador. We observed a distance decay of similarity in our tree data, but not in our arthropod data. Hence, it is unlikely that this ‘neutral’ tree model will be useful to predict the distribution of arthropods within the San Lorenzo forest. This is hardly surprising considering that trees and arthropods may represent two extremes of life-histories: large, sedentary and long-lived organisms vs. small, mobile and short-lived organisms, respectively. As discussed previously, phytophages may represent an exception to this rule because most species are strongly associated with their hosts. The one common denominator we identified for rainforest trees and arthropods is their dependence on factors related to the vertical dimension, particularly when considering reproductive units, and we believe that this area of research deserves more attention. Overall, our data suggest that tropical trees cannot necessarily be used as “umbrella species” [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref047" ref-type="bibr">47</xref>] for arthropods. Previously, we showed that estimated arthropod species richness in the San Lorenzo forest could be well predicted from tree species richness but, consistent with this study, not so accurately from distance decay models [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref001" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>]. Our current analyses suggest that these findings do not extend to the partitioning of arthropod diversity in space and time. While it may be possible to evaluate arthropod species richness from plant richness (and therefore implicitly to consider plants as umbrella species for arthropods in biodiversity hotspots [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref048" ref-type="bibr">48</xref>]), equating the conservation needs of tropical arthropod species to those of tropical tree species by assuming similar distributional patterns seems an unjustified simplification.</p><p>Second, we have shown that arthropod species are particularly dependent on factors related to the vertical and seasonal dimensions. Unfortunately, these are also the dimensions which are the most difficult and costly to incorporate into protocols for surveying arthropods in tropical rainforests because they require extended sampling across seasons, as well as access to the vertical habitats available to arthropods in the canopy. Global biodiversity estimates rely heavily on the numbers of insect herbivores associated with tropical trees [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref002" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>]. Our data suggest that sound estimates can only be attained if the original data include vertical and seasonal samples of insect herbivores. The latter are rarely adequate [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref049" ref-type="bibr">49</xref>], but can be improved by stratified field protocols. In particular, vertical effects may be tempered by structured protocols allowing, for example, ground-level studies to catch larvae or emerging canopy-dwelling adults [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref042" ref-type="bibr">42</xref>].</p><p>Last, the relatively high arthropod faunal similarity observed in the horizontal dimension suggests that dispersal limitation in this dimension is relatively weaker than within the vertical and seasonal dimensions, where we observed stronger decays in similarity with height or time. This has strong implications for the conservation of rainforest arthropods. Changes in the horizontal dimension may result mainly from the conversion of old-growth rainforests to secondary forests, plantations and other habitats (i.e., changes in variables such as number of stems and tree species, basal area and succession in our <xref rid="pone.0144110.g005" ref-type="fig">Fig 5a</xref>). Arthropod dispersal and fitness in these conditions may be impeded, but perhaps not as dramatically as thought, as evidenced by reports that converted forests still may sustain a high proportion of arthropod diversity [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref018" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref050" ref-type="bibr">50</xref>]. However, changes in the vertical dimension may be promoted by similar changes in the horizontal dimension and, additionally, by any change in the canopy openness (variables light, openness, leaf density in <xref rid="pone.0144110.g005" ref-type="fig">Fig 5a</xref>) that may alter arthropod microhabitats along the vertical dimension, such as selective logging [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref018" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>]. Drastic changes along the vertical profile, particularly where habitat continuity may be lost, such as in the canopy and upper canopy, may further limit arthropod dispersal and fitness, with canopy species being particularly at risk of local extinction. Changes in the seasonal dimension may be of special concern as dispersal limitation in this dimension may be related to the short lifespans of most adult arthropods. In this case, any changes in air temperature, rainfall, or resources driven by climate change (such as phenological mismatch with host plants or prey [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref051" ref-type="bibr">51</xref>]), may strongly affect arthropod dispersal and fitness. Despite this, there are only a handful of long-term monitoring schemes have been dedicated to tropical arthropods [<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref014" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref017" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>,<xref rid="pone.0144110.ref052" ref-type="bibr">52</xref>]. We urgently call for the implementation of monitoring schemes to evaluate the effects of anthropogenic change on the spatio-temporal distribution of arthropod biodiversity, or we may grossly underestimate arthropod extinction risks in tropical rainforests.</p></sec><sec sec-type="supplementary-material" id="sec017"><title>Supporting Information</title><supplementary-material content-type="local-data" id="pone.0144110.s001"><label>S1 Fig</label><caption><title>Plot of canopy openness (best fit power relationship) versus arthropod abundance collected by sticky traps (780 traps, 3683 individuals, 9 sites, 4 habitats, 4 surveys).</title><p>(TIF)</p></caption><media xlink:href="pone.0144110.s001.tif"><caption><p>Click here for additional data file.</p></caption></media></supplementary-material><supplementary-material content-type="local-data" id="pone.0144110.s002"><label>S2 Fig</label><caption><title>Mean abundance per sample detailed for each arthropod guild and site.</title><p>For each guild, sites are plotted along the following sequences: B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, F1, F2, F3, I1, R1, R2 and R3.
