Contrasting impacts of precipitation on Mediterranean birds and butterflies

The climatic preferences of the species determine to a large extent their response to climate change. Temperature preferences have been shown to play a key role in driving trends in animal populations. However, the relative importance of temperature and precipitation preferences is still poorly unde...

description The climatic preferences of the species determine to a large extent their response to climate change. Temperature preferences have been shown to play a key role in driving trends in animal populations. However, the relative importance of temperature and precipitation preferences is still poorly understood, particularly in systems where ecological processes are strongly constrained by the amount and timing of rainfall. In this study, we estimated the role played by temperature and precipitation preferences in determining population trends for birds and butterfies in a Mediterranean area. Trends were derived from long-term biodiversity monitoring data and temperature and precipitation preferences were estimated from species distribution data at three diferent geographical scales. We show that population trends were first and foremost related to precipitation preferences both in birds and in butterfies. Temperature preferences had a weaker efect on population trends, and were signifcant only in birds. The efect of precipitation on population trends operated in opposite directions in the two groups of species: butterfy species from arid environments and bird species from humid habitats are decreasing most.
