• Paradox, presumption and pitfalls in conservation biology: The importance of habitat change for amphibians and reptiles. (2007, background): “For example recent reviews of both butterflies (Hamer and Hill, 2000), birds (Hill and Hamer, 2004; Barlow et al., 2007), and terrestrial vertebrates (Gardner et al., 2007a) have revealed a marked lack of consensus regarding the consequences of structural habitat change on species diversity.”
• The value of primary, secondary and plantation forests for fruit-feeding butterflies in the Brazilian Amazon (2007, methodology): “Fifteen transects were established, with five replicate sites in each of primary, secondary and plantation forests (see Barlow et al . 2007 for a map).”
• Is oil palm agriculture really destroying tropical biodiversity? (2008, background): “In particular, more empirical research is needed to quantify the biodiversity value of oil palm plantations relative to primary and secondary forests, as has been conducted in other tropical regions (e.g., Barlow et al. 2007a, 2007b, 2007c; Gardner et al. 2007).”
• A Meta‐Analysis of the Impact of Anthropogenic Forest Disturbance on Southeast Asia's Biotas (2009, background): “Previous studies from the tropics show that pristine forests can be especially critical for biodiversity (e.g., Hughes et al. 2002; Dunn 2004; Barlow et al. 2007a, b).”
• High-yield oil palm expansion spares land at the expense of forests in the Peruvian Amazon (2011, background): “Higher productivity in new agricultural areas can increase efficiency in the use of land, but incentives for expanding cultivations outside of the forest are essential to achieve simultaneous goals of agricultural production and forest conservation.”
• Understanding the biodiversity consequences of habitat change: the value of secondary and plantation forests for neotropical dung beetles (2007, background): “Fifteen study sites were established, with five replicates each in primary rainforest, ‘mature’ Eucalyptus plantations (4‐5 years old) and even-aged secondary forest (14‐19 years since abandonment) (for a map and more detailed habitat descriptions see Barlow et al . 2007a ).”
