Discussion
We recovered 1,277 ASV, 496 lineages at 3% CL, 441 at 5% CL and 570
using GMYC for the eight arthropod orders. Overall composition of
arthropod communities exhibited high turnover among sampling blocks and
ordination tests also showed significant differences among sites. Within
our entire sampling (maximum 19 km between sampling blocks), we found
that distance (pure geographical distance and once corrected by
elevation) plays a primarily role driving community structure, from the
level of haplotypes through to lineages. This pattern holds at finer
geographic distances (<2 km), but only in the group with
considerably low dispersal ability (non-winged Collembola).
