Invasions have increased the size of regional species pools, but are typically assumed to reduce native diversity. However, global-scale tests of this assumption have been elusive because of the focus on exotic species richness, rather than relative abundance. This is problematic because low invader richness can indicate invasion resistance by...
Habitat fragmentation studies have produced complex results that are challenging
to synthesize. Inconsistencies among studies may result from variation in
the choice of landscape metrics and response variables, which is often compounded
by a lack of key statistical or methodological information. Collating
primary datasets on biodiversity responses to fragmentation in...
