TL;DR: This work analyzes 100 time series from biomes across Earth to ask how diversity within assemblages is changing through time and detects systematic loss of α diversity, but community composition changed systematically through time, in excess of predictions from null models.

TL;DR: Examining spatial variation in species richness and composition change using more than 50,000 biodiversity time series from 239 studies found clear geographic variation in biodiversity change, suggesting that biodiversity change may be spatially structured.

TL;DR: The BioTIME database contains raw data on species identities and abundances in ecological assemblages through time to enable users to calculate temporal trends in biodiversity within and amongst assemblage using a broad range of metrics.

TL;DR: An exceptionally comprehensive 29-year time series of North Atlantic groundfish assemblages monitored over 5° latitude to the west of Scotland shows steady change in species composition, leading to an increase in spatial homogenization: the species identity of colder northern localities increasingly resembles that of warmer southern localities.

TL;DR: For a set of 23 241 populations, 16 009 species, in 158 assemblages, significantly accelerating extinction and colonisation rates were detected, with both rates being approximately balanced.
