Which of these is an example of taxonomic homogenization?
A) Decrease in distribution of non-native species in crater lakes in Africa
B) Replacement of endemic snails on Pacific islands by invasive species
C) Hybridization of California tiger salamanders with another species

Accepted Answer

Taxonomic homogenization refers to the process where distinct local species are replaced by widespread, often non-native species, leading to a decrease in biodiversity. The replacement of endemic snails by invasive species is an example of this process.
