Island biogeography is the study of the distribution and dynamics of species in island
environments. Due to their isolation from more widespread continental species, islands are …

Aim We explored the range shifts of alien and native birds, the responses of alien and native
β‐diversity to abiotic factors, and the effect of native diversity on alien β‐diversity in two time …

Habitat change affects both taxonomic and functional biodiversity, and beta-diversity is often
used as a metric to describe these changes. Furthermore, spatially closer communities tend …

Abstract The Nullarbor Plain constitutes one of the main biogeographic barriers of Australia,
and it has been suggested to have played a key role in the disjunct distribution of numerous …

Biotic homogenization is a process whereby species assemblages become more similar
through time. The standard way of identifying the process of biotic homogenization is to look …

Islands host a disproportionate fraction of global biodiversity and provide ideal systems for
investigating the factors affecting patterns of biodiversity. However, islands are also …

Simple Summary Functional redundancy, the coexistence of species with similar functional
roles, is of critical importance for ecosystem function stability. However, drivers of functional …

Urbanization‐driven biotic homogenization has been recorded in various ecosystems on
local and global scales; however, it is largely unexplored in developing countries. Empirical …

Geographical background and dispersal ability may strongly influence assemblage
dissimilarity; however, these aspects have generally been overlooked in previous large …

Abiotic and biotic factors drive compositional differences among local species assemblages.
Determining the influence of different drivers on beta diversity patterns can provide insights …
