The projected effects of climatic and vegetation changes on the distribution and diversity of Southeast Asian bats (2012, background): “Furthermore, taxonomic and genetic analyses have revealed large number of cryptic bat species in the region (Soisook et al., 2008, 2010; Francis et al., 2010).”
Functional structure of ant and termite assemblages in old growth forest, logged forest and oil palm plantation in Malaysian Borneo (2014, background): “Global demands for timber and palm oil (e.g. Fitzherbert et al. 2008, Danielsen et al. 2009, Sodhi et al. 2009) mean that increasing areas of habitat are being converted—nearly 80 % of Malaysian Borneo was affected by logging and clearing operations between 1990 and 2009 (Bryan et al. 2013), with…”
Amphibians over the edge: silent extinction risk of Data Deficient species (2014, background): “The plight of Asian biodiversity has been well discussed previously (Sodhi et al., 2004; Sodhi & Brook, 2008; Bradshaw et al., 2009; Koh & Sodhi, 2010; Rowley et al., 2010; Sodhi et al., 2010), and specifically, amphibian diversity in the Indo-Burma region is highlighted in our analysis.”
Crop wild relatives of pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.]: Distributions, ex situ conservation status, and potential genetic resources for abiotic stress tolerance (2015, background): “The regions of distribution of pigeonpea CWR species occur in areas undergoing habitat change due to conversion to agriculture, logging, urbanization, mining, invasive species, and climate change, among other factors (Sahai and Rawat, 2014; Sodhi et al., 2004, 2009; Upadhyaya et al., 2013a).”
Using local ecological knowledge to determine status and threats of the Critically Endangered Chinese pangolin (Manis pentadactyla) in Hainan, China (2016, background): “…using rigorous, objective data is particularly important for ecosystems in eastern and southeast Asia, which are experiencing extreme levels of anthropogenic pressure and contain the world’s highest proportion of threatened vertebrate and plant species (Schipper et al., 2008; Sodhi et al., 2010).”
Trio under threat: can we secure the future of rhinos, elephants and tigers in Malaysia? (2010, background): “Southeast Asia has the highest rates deforestation among the tropics (Sodhi et al. 2004; Sodhi and Brook 2006) and the highest proportion of threatened mammal species (Sodhi et al. 2010).”
Historic and prehistoric human‐driven extinctions have reshaped global mammal diversity patterns (2015, methodology): “For natural diversity, the highest values are observed in the southern Rocky Mountains, Mexico and northern Argentina, whereas most of the Americas 1160 Diversity and Distributions, 21, 1155–1166, ª 2015 John Wiley & Sons Ltd and Eurasia have diversities similar to the most diverse areas in sub-Saha”
Ecological and socio-economic factors affecting extinction risk in parrots (2016, background): “4b), driving extensive deforestation in recent decades (Sodhi et al. 2004, Biodivers Conserv (2016) 25:205–223 219”
