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 …

Functional homogenization in aquatic ecosystems: a review and framework proposal
Functional homogenization can be defined as a simplification of functional communities or
species traits over time. The purpose of this review was to summarize the existing …

Total nitrogen and pH are key variables for functional structure of zooplanktonic communities in an agropastoral landscape
Abstract Changes in land use are one of the main impacts on aquatic ecosystems. The
conversion of natural areas into agropastoral, such as pasture or monocultures, can affect …

Multifaceted assessment of stream fish alpha and beta diversity using spatial models
Our understanding of the factors determining stream community assembly has mainly been
built upon taxonomic diversity. Additionally, most investigations of factors governing …
