Homogenocene
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Homogenocene (from old Greek: homo=same, genos=kind, kainos=new) is a term used to define our current ecological era, in which biodiversity is diminishing and ecosystems around the globe seem more and more similar one to another.
The term Homogenocene was first used by Michael Samways in his editorial article in the Journal of Insect Conservation from 1999 titled Translocating fauna to foreign lands: here comes the Homogenocene.[1]
The term was used again by John L. Curnutt in the year 2000 in Ecology, in a short list titled A Guide to the Homogenocene [2] which reviewed Alien species in North America and Hawaii: impacts on natural ecosystems by George Cox.
