Biotic homogenization: a few winners replacing many losers in the next mass extinction
Human activities are not random in their negative and positive impacts on biotas. Emerging
evidence shows that most species are declining as a result of human activities ('losers') and …

Selectivity in mammalian extinction risk and threat types: a new measure of phylogenetic signal strength in binary traits
The strength of phylogenetic signal in extinction risk can give insight into the mechanisms
behind species' declines. Nevertheless, no existing measure of phylogenetic pattern in a …

Propagule pressure: a null model for biological invasions
Invasion ecology has been criticised for its lack of general principles. To explore this
criticism, we conducted a meta-analysis that examined characteristics of invasiveness (ie the …

A global review of the distribution, taxonomy, and impacts of introduced seaweeds
We reviewed over 407 global seaweed introduction events and have increased the total
number of introduced seaweed species to 277. Using binomial tests we show that several …

A boom–bust phylum? Ecological and evolutionary consequences of density variations in echinoderms
Echinoderms play a key role in structuring many marine ecosystems and are notorious for
large population density variations in so‐called “outbreak” or “dieoff” events. In a review of …

MAcroecological Framework for Invasive Aliens (MAFIA): disentangling large-scale context dependence in biological invasions
Macroecology is the study of patterns, and the processes that determine those patterns, in
the distribution and abundance of organisms at large scales, whether they be spatial (from …
