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).
