Journal ArticleDOI

Assemblage Time Series Reveal Biodiversity Change but Not Systematic Loss

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fifteen forms of biodiversity trend in the Anthropocene

TL;DR: It is argued that the understanding of biodiversity trends in the Anthropocene is impeded by a failure to consider different types of biodiversity measured at different spatial scales, and it is proposed that ecologists should recognize and assess 15 distinct categories of biodiversity trend.
Journal ArticleDOI

BioTIME: A database of biodiversity time series for the Anthropocene

Maria Dornelas, +286 more
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.
