As global transportation becomes faster and  more frequent, it is inevitable that biotic intermixing will increase.  Unique local biotas will become extinct only to be replaced by already  widespread biotas that can tolerate human activities. This process is  affecting all aspects of our world: language, economies, and  ecosystems alike. The ultimate outcome is the loss of uniqueness and  the growth of uniformity. In this way, fast food restaurants exist in  Moscow and Java Sparrows breed on Hawaii. \u003cbr\u003e  Biological homogenization qualifies as a global environmental  catastrophe. The Earth has never witnessed such a broad and complete  reorganization of species distributions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-17\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461354673\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-1261-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 289\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44340558135436,"sku":"9781461354673","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461354673.jpg?v=1770819128","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781461354673","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
