The extraordinary diversity of plants across the Cape Floristic Region is characterized by considerable species turnover among sites. Phytophagous insects show similarly high turnover, but their patterns are closely coupled to those of their hosts. If the mechanisms underlying high plant turnover are not unique to plants, similar patterns of turnover should also be seen in non‐herbivorous arthropod groups. We tested this hypothesis using new data for the Collembola fauna of the Fynbos biome.

Cape Floristic Region跳蚤的高周转率

佛得角海角地区植物的非同寻常特点是各地点之间的物种周转率很高。噬食性昆虫表现出相似的高周转率，但是它们的模式与其寄主的模式紧密相关。如果植物高周转率的机制不是植物独有的，则在非食草节肢动物群体中也应观察到相似的周转模式。我们使用Fynbos生物群系的Collembola动物区系的新数据检验了这一假设。
