Urban ecological studies, including focus on cities, suburbs, and exurbs, while having deep
roots in the early to mid 20th century, have burgeoned in the last several decades. We use …

Aim Biotic homogenization describes the process by which species invasions and
extinctions increase the genetic, taxonomic or functional similarity of two or more biotas over …

Native biodiversity decline and non-native species spread are major features of the
Anthropocene. Both processes can drive biotic homogenization by reducing trait and …

When measured by extent and intensity, urbanization is one of the most homogenizing of all
major human activities. Cities homogenize the physical environment because they are built …

The paper provides the first estimate of the composition and structure of alien plants
occurring in the wild in the European continent, based on the results of the DAISIE project …

Human-dominated landscapes represent one of the most rapidly expanding and least-
understood ecosystems on earth. Yet, we know little about which features in these …

Ongoing species invasions and extinctions are changing biological diversity in different
ways at different spatial scales. Biotic homogenization (or BH) refers to the process by which …

How will biodiversity loss affect ecosystem functioning, ecosystem services, and human well-
being? In an age of accelerating biodiversity loss, this timely and critical volume summarizes …

1. With evidence of significant global insect declines mounting, urgent calls to mitigate such
declines are also increasing. Efforts to reverse insect declines will only succeed, however, if …

Aim Worldwide, functional homogenization is now considered to be one of the most
prominent forms of biotic impoverishment induced by current global changes. Yet this …
