A meta‐analysis of trait differences between invasive and non‐invasive plant species
Ecology Letters (2010) 13: 235–245 Abstract A major aim in ecology is identifying
determinants of invasiveness. We performed a meta‐analysis of 117 field or experimental …

Fifteen forms of biodiversity trend in the Anthropocene
Humans are transforming the biosphere in unprecedented ways, raising the important
question of how these impacts are changing biodiversity. Here we argue that our …

A global analysis of the impacts of urbanization on bird and plant diversity reveals key anthropogenic drivers
Urbanization contributes to the loss of the world's biodiversity and the homogenization of its
biota. However, comparative studies of urban biodiversity leading to robust generalities of …

Hierarchical filters determine community assembly of urban species pools
The majority of humanity now lives in cities or towns, with this proportion expected to
continue increasing for the foreseeable future. As novel ecosystems, urban areas offer an …

Plant biodiversity change across scales during the Anthropocene
Plant communities have undergone dramatic changes in recent centuries, although not all
such changes fit with the dominant biodiversity-crisis narrative used to describe them. At the …

Biotic homogenisation and differentiation as directional change in beta diversity: synthesising driver–response relationships to develop conceptual models across …
Biotic homogenisation is defined as decreasing dissimilarity among ecological assemblages
sampled within a given spatial area over time. Biotic differentiation, in turn, is defined as …
