Biotic homogenisation in NW European pollinators. These panels represent the similarity between species composition of samples taken different distances apart (measured using 1-βsim) for three groups of pollinating insects (bees, hoverflies and butterflies) over time. In most cases, recent decades (represented by the red lines) show higher similarity at a given distance than was found in the mid 20th century (black lines).
