• How will oil palm expansion affect biodiversity? (2008, background): “Elsewhere, oil palm has been documented as replacing forest in southern Thailand [ 27 ], Myanmar [28] and Papua New Guinea [29].”
• Systematic review of effects on biodiversity from oil palm production (2014, background): “However, there was an indication that both types of variables had some effect (Chung et al. 2000, Liow et al. 2001, Aratrakorn et al. 2006, Hassall et al. 2006, Fayle et al. 2010, and Azhar et al. 2011) and probably contribute to variation in the effect sizes, as they are most unlikely to be…”
• Biodiversity and extinction (2007, unknown): “…evident that vast areas of natural forest have been cleared both regionally and globally (Williams, 2003), and even where some of these areas have ultimately been replaced with plantations these have greatly impoverished species richness (eg, Aratrakorn et al., 2006; Peh et al., 2006; Raman, 2006).”
• Can oil palm plantations become bird friendly? (2010, background): “The existence of a well developed understory could reduce this impact, contributing to conserve some biodiversity (Aratrakorn et al. 2006).”
• The Impacts of Oil Palm on Recent Deforestation and Biodiversity Loss (2016, unknown): “The replacement of natural forests with monoculture palm plantations reduces overall plant diversity and eliminates the many animal species that depend on natural forests [30, 31, 32].”
• The impacts and opportunities of oil palm in Southeast Asia: What do we know and what do we need to know? (2009, background): “Birds are also affected, with conversion of forest to plantations resulting in a reduction in species richness of at least 60 per cent, especially affecting threatened forest-dependent birds (Aratrakorn et al. 2006; see also Figure 14).”
• Biofuel Plantations on Forested Lands: Double Jeopardy for Biodiversity and Climate (2009, background): “For example, Aratrakorn et al. (2006) found that oil-palm plantations in Thailand supported fewer bird species than forest and that these species were significantly more widespread and of lower conservation status than those in forest.”
• Conserving Southeast Asian forest biodiversity in human-modified landscapes (2010, background): “Agricultural habitats such as rubber and oil palm plantations or cacao and coffee agroforests may be richer in bird species than open habitats, but the species similarity with forests is often very low (Aratrakorn et al., 2006; Danielsen and Heegaard, 1995; Peh et al., 2005; Sodhi et al., 2005a; Wal”
• Agriculture and biodiversity conservation: opportunity knocks (2008, background): “Agroforestry and silvo-pastoral systems in particular can retain significant fractions of original forest biodiversity; while others, such as oil palm and rubber plantations, and sugar cane, retain considerably less (Petit & Petit 2003; Donald 2004; Aratrakorn et al. 2006).”
