Mitigating the biodiversity impacts of oil palm development (2010, background): “Studies of forest fragments surrounded by oil palm in Malaysia show that small fragments support lower species diversity than larger fragments [25, 27, 28].”
Conserving Southeast Asian forest biodiversity in human-modified landscapes (2010, background): “On Borneo, species richness and diversity of butterflies declined significantly with declining fragment area and endemic species were not recorded within small remnants ( 4000 ha) but these sites nonetheless made a significant contribution to regional biodiversity (Benedick et al., 2006).”
Harvestmen in an Atlantic forest fragmented landscape: Evaluating assemblage response to habitat quality and quantity (2007, background): “Among arthropods themselves, there is a clear imbalance in scientific knowledge, with most studies about the effects of tropical forest disturbances or fragmentation focusing on certain groups such as bees (Powell and Powell, 1987; Murren, 2002; Tonhasca et al., 2002; Ricketts, 2004; Bodin et al., 2”
Wildlife‐friendly oil palm plantations fail to protect biodiversity effectively (2010, background): “Fragments might harbor populations of forest-dependent species that would otherwise not be able to persist in the agricultural landscape (Benedick et al. 2006; Koh 2008b) and they could maintain landscape-scale connectivity by acting as “stepping stones” between contiguous areas of forest (Laurance…”
How will oil palm expansion affect biodiversity? (2008, background): “Although forested areas of tens of thousands of hectares will be needed to avert the extinction of many species [61], even small and degraded fragments can hold considerable biodiversity value and complement the species in larger reserves [50,51, 53 ].”
Habitat fragmentation and landscape change (2010, unknown): “has been widely observed: for example, in butterfly communities in fragments of lowland rainforest in Borneo (Benedick et al. 2006).”
