Inverse responses of species richness and niche specialization to human development

Humans impact biodiversity by altering land use and introducing nonnative species. Yet the extent to which coexistence processes, such as competition and niche shifts, mediate these relationships is not clear. This study compares how human development influences wetland plant diversity by examining patterns of species richness, niche specialization and nonnative species occurrences along a human development gradient.
