Biotic homogenisation and differentiation as directional change in beta diversity: synthesising driver–response relationships to develop conceptual models across ecosystems

Biological Reviews of The Cambridge Philosophical Society, 2023
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 increasing dissimilarity over time.

Community vertical stratification drives temporal taxonomic and phylogenetic beta diversity in a mixed broadleaf-conifer forest

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Temporal change of beta diversity provides a better understanding of the extent and consequences of species composition in forest communities with the ongoing global climate change.

Global beta-diversity of angiosperm trees is shaped by Quaternary climate change

Science Advances, 2023
As Earth’s climate has varied strongly through geological time, studying the impacts of past climate change on biodiversity helps to understand the risks from future climate change. However, it remains unclear how paleoclimate shapes spatial variation in

Phylogenetic beta diversity metrics, trait evolution and inferring the functional beta diversity of communities. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
The beta diversity of communities along gradients has fascinated ecologists for decades. Traditionally such studies have focused on the species composition of communities, but researchers are becoming increasingly interested in analyzing the phylogenetic

Different responses of incidence-weighted and abundance-weighted multiple facets of macroinvertebrate beta diversity to urbanization in a subtropical river system

Ecological Indicators, 2022
Urbanization is one of the major drivers of biotic homogenization (i.e., decrease in beta diversity) in freshwater systems. However, only a few studies have simultaneously examined how urbanization affects multiple facets (i.e., taxonomic, functional and

Putting beta-diversity on the map: broad-scale congruence and coincidence in the extremes. [PDF]

PLoS Biology, 2007
Beta-diversity, the change in species composition between places, is a critical but poorly understood component of biological diversity. Patterns of beta-diversity provide information central to many ecological and evolutionary questions, as well as to ...

Plant beta-diversity across biomes captured by imaging spectroscopy

Nature Communications, 2022
Monitoring the rapid and extensive changes in plant species distributions occurring worldwide requires large-scale, continuous and repeated biodiversity assessments.

Environment regimes play an important role in structuring trait‐ and taxonomy‐based temporal beta diversity of riverine diatoms

Journal of Ecology, 2022
A sound understanding of the community changes over time and its driving forces is at the centre of biodiversity conservation and ecology research. In this study, we examined: (i) the relative roles of turnover and nestedness components to trait‐ and ...
