Supplementary Fig. 1. Temperature variability. (A) Ambient air temperatures for three
3
different M. aurantiacus plants at the Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve. Temperatures
4
were measured during April 2012, when the plants were in bloom, with iButtons held in a
5
radiation shield that was placed 60 cm from the ground at the base of each plant.
6
Measurements were made every ten minutes. (B) Temperature treatments for
7
microcosms: plots represent a four-day schedule of temperature. Temperature
8
manipulations were consistent across both patches in a metacommunity for control and
9
temporal treatments.
