Although the importance of natural habitats to pollinator diversity is widely recognized, the
value of forests to pollinating insects has been largely overlooked in many parts of the world …

Oil palm is one of the world's most rapidly increasing crops. We assess its contribution to
tropical deforestation and review its biodiversity value. Oil palm has replaced large areas of …

Although habitat loss is the predominant factor leading to biodiversity loss in the
Anthropocene,, exactly how this loss manifests—and at which scales—remains a central …

Land use and related pressures have reduced local terrestrial biodiversity, but it is unclear
how the magnitude of change relates to the recently proposed planetary boundary (“safe …

Losses of natural and semi-natural forests, mostly to agriculture, are a significant concern for
biodiversity. Against this trend, the area of intensively managed plantation forests increases …

The conversion of natural forest to oil palm plantation is a major current threat to the
conservation of biodiversity in South East Asia. Most animal taxa decrease in both species …

Southeast Asia experiences one of the highest rates of deforestation in the tropics due to
agricultural expansion, logging, habitat fragmentation and urbanization, which are expected …

Edge effects are major drivers of change in many fragmented landscapes, but are often
highly variable in space and time. Here we assess variability in edge effects altering …

This chapter begins by summarizing the conceptual approaches used to understand
conservation in fragmented landscapes. We then examine the biophysical aspects of …

Tropical East Asia is home to over one billion people and faces massive human impacts
from its rising population and rapid economic growth. It has already lost more than half of its …
