Ecology of butterflies in natural and selectively logged forests of northern Borneo: the importance of habitat heterogeneity (2003, methodology): “This supports other studies comparing disturbed and undisturbed habitats, which also showed that increased light was associated with increased butterfly diversity (Sparrow et al. 1994; Pinheiro & Ortiz 1992; Willott et al. 2000).”
Forest use and vertical stratification in fruit-feeding butterflies of Sulawesi, Indonesia: impacts for conservation (2005, background): “In contrast to an increase in butterfly diversity, other studies report no measurable influence (e.g., Bowman et al. 1990; Beck and Schulze 2000; Willott et al. 2000; Lewis 2001), or adverse effects of forest use on butterfly diversity (Holloway et al. 1992; Ghazoul 2002).”
Managing the tropical landscape: a comparison of the effects of logging and forest conversion to agriculture on ants, birds, and lepidoptera (2004, background): “Where it has been studied, logging also appears to affect species composition (Johns, 1992; Mason, 1996; Aleixo, 1999; Kalif et al., 2001; Vasconcelos et al., 2000; Willot, 1999; Willot et al., 2000) but not consistently (Lewis, 2001; Owiunji and Plumptre, 1998; Whitman et al.”
Impact of logging on the richness and diversity of forest butterflies in a tropical dry forest in Thailand (2002, background): “If forest disturbance results in a loss of these species then both richness and heterogeneity of the regional butterfly community will diminish, even though diversity may increase at local scales (as observed by Spitzer et al. 1993, 1997; Hamer et al. 1997; and Willott et al. 2000).”
Changes of dung beetle communities from rainforests towards agroforestry systems and annual cultures in Sulawesi (Indonesia) (2005, background): “Many studies document the loss of biodiversity caused by the ongoing modification or clearing of tropical forests (e.g., Watt et al. 1997; Holloway 1998; Lawton et al. 1998; Schulze 2000; Willott et al. 2000; Liow et al. 2001).”
BIODIVERSITY INDICATOR GROUPS OF TROPICAL LAND‐USE SYSTEMS: COMPARING PLANTS, BIRDS, AND INSECTS (2004, result): “This also counts for other studies reporting changes of species richness across a gradient of habitat modification, which surveyed sites in close vicinity to remaining near-primary or primary forest (e.g., Lawton et al. 1998, Willott 1999, Schulze 2000, Willott et al. 2000, Beck et al. 2002).”
Vertical and Temporal Patterns of Biodiversity of Fruit-Feeding Butterflies in a Tropical Forest in Uganda (2004, background): “Many studies have used butterflies to assess biodiversity in tropical forests and most of these studies have evaluated the effect of disturbance (Daily and Ehrlich 1995; Hill et al. 1995; Hamer et al. 1997, 2003; Lawton et al. 1998; Wood and Gillman 1998; DeVries et al. 1999; Hamer and Hill 2000; Wi”
Dung beetle (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) diversity and community structure across three disturbance regimes in eastern Amazonia (2005, result): “…biodiversity has been studied, the results have been mixed: in some cases biodiversity declines (Fredericksen et al. 1999, Ocha G. 2000, Thiollay 1992), in others it remains stable (Fredericksen et al. 1999, Laurance & Laurance 1996, Willott 1999), and in others it increases (Willott et al. 2000).”
Species diversity and community structure in neotropical fruit‐feeding butterflies (2001, result): “Abundance distributions showed that our fruit-feed- As in previous investigations (DeVries, 1988; DeVries et al., 1997, 1999a; Willott et al., 1998; Shaha-ing nymphalid community was vertically structured.”
From forest to farmland: diversity of geometrid moths along two habitat gradients on Borneo (2002, background): “Even among the Lepidoptera, some groups (such as tropical forest butterflies: Hamer & Hill 2000, Schulze & Fiedler 1998; but see Willott et al. 2000) are more sensitive to habitat alteration than many moths.”
