Abstract: Abstract Studies have shown negative impacts of increased human pressures on biodiversity at local (alpha‐diversity) and regional (gamma‐diversity) scales. However, the diversity between local sites (beta‐diversity) has received less attention. This is an important shortcoming… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10980-020-00978-x
Abstract: Biotic homogenization (BH), the process by which β-diversity erodes, is suspected to be severe among plant communities due to widespread anthropogenic disturbances. However, few studies have directly linked anthropogenic disturbance with patterns of BH. The… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsbl.2022.0055
Abstract: The degradation of natural habitats is causing ongoing homogenization of biological communities and declines in terrestrial insect biodiversity, particularly in agricultural landscapes. Orthoptera are focal species of nature conservation and experienced significant diversity losses over… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ecog.04454
Abstract: Biotic homogenization reduces the regional distinctiveness of biotas with significant ecological and evolutionary consequences. The outcome of this process may depend on the spatial scale of inquiry (both resolution and extent), the selected taxon and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/geb.13053
Abstract: AIM: Biotic homogenization (BH), a reduction in the distinctness of species composition between geographically separated ecological communities in a region, is an important but underappreciated potential consequence of biological invasions. While BH theory has always… read more here.

Biotic homogenization in an increasingly urbanized temperate grassland ecosystem
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Journal of Vegetation Science"
DOI: 10.1111/jvs.12507
Abstract: Question: How does urbanization and associated declines in fire frequency alter the floristic composition of native temperate grasslands? Does it lead to: (1) biotic homogenization, i.e. compositional similarity between remnants increases; (2) biotic differentiation, whereby… read more here.
