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 …

Establishing the evidence base for maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem function in the oil palm landscapes of South East Asia
The conversion of natural forest to oil palm plantation is a major current threat to the
conservation of biodiversity in South East Asia. Most animal taxa decrease in both species …

Compositional changes in bee and wasp communities along Neotropical mountain altitudinal gradient
LN Perillo, FS Neves, Y Antonini, RP Martins - PLoS One, 2017 - journals.plos.org
Climate conditions tend to differ along an altitudinal gradient, resulting in some species
groups' patterns of lower species richness with increasing altitude. While this pattern is well …
