Taxonomic and functional homogenization of an endemic desert fish fauna (2012, background): “A recent study by Baiser & Lockwood (2011) used simulated data to show that an increasing ratio of trait states to species richness strengthened the correlation between the taxonomic and functional similarity of bird assemblages in the USA.”
Consequences of the introduction of exotic and translocated species and future extirpations on the functional diversity of freshwater fish assemblages (2013, background): “Although species richness is decreasing on a global scale, species richness at the local and regional scales increases when the number of invading non-native species greatly exceeds the number of native species becoming extinct (Sax et al., 2002; Winter et al., 2009; Baiser & Lockwood, 2011).”
Functional homogenization exceeds taxonomic homogenization among European fish assemblages (2014, background): “In contrast, the impact of introductions and extirpations on the functional facet of biodiversity has seldom been quantified (Baiser & Lockwood, 2011; Luck & Smallbone, 2011; Pool & Olden, 2012; Matsuzaki et al., 2013).”
