Rather old but important paper on biodiversity in the anthropocene. Countering notions of human activity as purely destructive to ecosystems, the authors emphasize how introduction of exotic species increases local diversity while decreasing it globally.ht

Review no. 3: http://t.co/8NDlEPG8 Good paper, but is richness enough? Homogenisation crucial here but can't study it using these data.

生物多様性の専門家の方に読みこなして欲しい論文ですが、外来種によって在来種が駆逐される反面、外来種が優勢になることで総体的に種の種類が豊かになるという予測が出たよって話題です。 日本に残る里山の文化などもそうですが、人間の存在が自然... http://t.co/BGksQzcI

Plant species richness has increased in many regions during the anthropocene….but the gains are invasives http://t.co/Q4pOdmb9 #PLoS

Can you say "invasives"? "@Eaterofsun: Humans caused net increase in terrestrial plant species richness #anthropocene http://t.co/HOzfwOn7"

Humans have caused a net increase in plant species richness across 2-thirds of terrestrial biosphere #anthropocene http://t.co/YHOg3lcA
