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 …

Advancing genetic methods in the study of parrot biology and conservation
Parrots (Psittaciformes) are a well-studied, diverse group of birds distributed mainly in
tropical and subtropical regions. Today, one-third of their species face extinction, mainly due …

Introductions do not compensate for functional and phylogenetic losses following extinctions in insular bird assemblages
FL Sobral, AC Lees, MV Cianciaruso - Ecology Letters, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
The ratio of species extinctions to introductions has been comparable for many insular
assemblages, suggesting that introductions could have 'compensated'for extinctions …
