Impacts of oil palm plantations on changes in environmental heterogeneity and Heteroptera (Gerromorpha and Nepomorpha) diversity (2017, result): “2008; Brühl and Eltz 2010; Gray et al.”
Functional structure of ant and termite assemblages in old growth forest, logged forest and oil palm plantation in Malaysian Borneo (2014, background): “Ant species richness is also reduced by logging, although to a lesser extent, with 31 % of species being lost (Brühl 2001).”
Oil palm expansion transforms tropical landscapes and livelihoods (2012, background): “It is undoubtedly the case that large scale biodiversity loss accompanies the conversion of natural forest to oil palm (Koh and Ghazoul, 2008; Bruhl and Eltz, 2010; Fayle et al., 2010; Foster et al., 2011; Edwards et al., 2012; Jambari et al., 2012).”
