  abstract = {{A}nimal community responses to extreme climate events can be predicted from the functional traits represented within communities. {H}owever, it is unclear whether geographic variation in the response of functional community structure to climate change is primarily driven by physiological matching to local conditions (local adaptation hypothesis) or by differences between species pools in functional redundancy (insurance hypothesis). {W}e conducted a coordinated experiment to understand how aquatic invertebrate traits mediate the responses of multitrophic communities to changes in the quantity and evenness of rainfall in 180 natural freshwater microcosms (tank bromeliads) distributed across six sites from 18 degrees {N} in the {C}aribbean to 29 degrees {S} in {S}outh {A}merica. {A}t each site, we manipulated the mean and dispersion of the daily amount of rainfall that entered tank bromeliads over a 2-month period. {M}anipulations covered a response surface representing 50% to 200% of the dispersion of daily rainfall crossed with 10% to 300% of the mean amounts of rainfall. {T}he response of functional community structure to precipitation regimes differed across sites. {T}hese geographic differences were not consistent with the local adaptation hypothesis, as responses did not correlate with the current amplitude in precipitation. {G}eographic differences in community responses were consistent with the insurance hypothesis: sites with the lowest functional redundancy in their species pools had the strongest response to a gradient in hydrological variability induced by uneven precipitation. {I}n such sites, an increase in the hydrologic variability induced a shift from communities with both pelagic and benthic traits using both green and brown energy channels to strictly benthic, brown energy communities. {O}ur results predict uneven impacts of precipitation change on community structure and energy channels within communities across {N}eotropical regions. {T}his geographic variation is due more to differences in the size and redundancy of species pools than to local adaptation. {S}trategies for climate change adaptation should thus seek to identify and preserve functionally unique species and their habitats.},
