dc.description.abstractGlobalization may confer a competitive advantage to species that are urban exploiters and result in homogenization of communities in cities. We tested the application of this hypothesis to green roofs. Using body size as a proxy for life-history strategy, we compared small-bodied and large-bodied subsets of beetle communities from 5 cities in Europe and North America. We found that city was an important organizer of both subsets, though more so for the large-bodied one. This result suggests either resilience against homogenization or simply that not enough time has occurred for it to develop. A majority of the 10 most-abundant species found in the North American cities were non-native, in contrast to those found in European cities, a majority of which were native. These findings signal that more research is needed to track drivers of homogenization, such as functional composition, on rooftops as well as in other urban green spaces.de_CH
