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 …

Seagrass collapse due to synergistic stressors is not anticipated by phenological changes
Seagrasses are globally declining and often their loss is due to synergies among stressors.
We investigated the interactive effects of eutrophication and burial on the Mediterranean …
