This paper focuses on how loss of biodiversity can influence ecosystem functioning and urges research to help measure biodiversity in an effective manner. This research analyzes current ecosystems (terrestrial and aquatic) and illustrates in its figures how anthropogenic drivers limit diversity and promote biotic homogenization. This paper urges to rethink biodiversity and it's importance, as the topic has been around since its formal introduction in 1992.

paper provides insights on a system that is already in place and evaluates the trends seen in ecology research from the past few decades to now. this paper focuses on research trends and language, more specifically topics of interest in ecological studies. this paper can provide insights on trends of ecological focuses and how it shifts with the understanding of our environment and it changes as new research is discovered. they also provide insight on how statistical analysis is not enough to maintain the natural history and fundamental science roots within the field. they suggest focus on research through funding bodies and enhancing educational curricula.
