We asked if the genetic diversity of Saponaria bellidifolia (a habitat
specialist plant) and the species diversity of its habitat are driven by
parallel landscape-level processes in an island-like system of limestone
outcrops in the Carpathian Mountains. We tested the relationship of these
two diversity levels at local and regional geographic scales. Local
genetic and species diversity showed parallel patterns influenced by the
number of plant communities. Likewise, at regional level there was strong
evidence for parallel equilibrial dynamics of genotypes and species.
However, a superimposed matrix effect enhanced the regional species
diversity only. Genetic diversity of habitat specialist organisms and
species diversity of these limestone outcrop islands on mainland are
modulated by parallel landscape-level processes at different geographic
scales, and mechanisms may be identified at very high spatial resolutions.
