Absolutely freaking cool paper on relationships between range size and changes in occupancy over time (at a more or less global scale). Seems strongly indicative of global homogenisation - i.e. common species becoming more common, rarer species becoming rarer.

@adam_t_clark Thanks Adam! Indeed, sounds like homogenization, but actually ‘yes and no’ when you do the math (our next paper, led by Shane does this—it’s on biorxiv). Problem is homogenization is a community-level calculation (the dreaded beta), this one is a species-level analysis (kinda 🤯)
@Jon_Chase03 This one? biorxiv.org/content/10.110… In any case, looks interesting 🤩 - I'll have to read that next.
