The lack of evidence for declining local diversity through time must be because everything is homogenizing, leading to larger-scale losses. Right?! Nope, says our analysis of 500+ meta-communities through time just published in Science Advances 🧪🌎🐟🌳🦋 🐦🦌 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Synthesis reveals approximately balanced biotic differentiation and homogenization

Homogenization is most common at large temporal and spatial scales but is balanced by differentiation at smaller scales.
