Current Biology: The homogenization of avian morph

  • HIGHLIGHT
    Predicted loss of birds will drive exceptional declines in morphological diversity
    Species extinctions lead to a major loss of ecological strategies and functions

  • Most biomes and ecoregions will experience morphological homogenization

  • Phylogenetic diversity tends to decline as expected as species go extinct
