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 🤯)
@adam_t_clark In my editorial notes about this manuscript I wrote something boring like "this is an interesting paper". From now on "absolutely freaking cool" it is
