• Conserving Southeast Asian forest biodiversity in human-modified landscapes (2010, background): “effect on butterfly species richness (Koh, 2008).”
• Is Oil Palm the Next Emerging Threat to the Amazon? (2009, background): “Further deleterious impacts of oil palm plantations, such as forest fragmentation, can be reduced somewhat by establishing primary-forest corridors, riparian strips, and small reserves within plantations [36; 37].”
• Mitigating the biodiversity impacts of oil palm development (2010, background): “Retaining epiphytes or undergrowth in plantations only marginally increases the number of bird and butterfly species, and planting non-native plants to attract beneficial insects does not significantly improve the biodiversity value [22].”
• Wildlife‐friendly oil palm plantations fail to protect biodiversity effectively (2010, background): “They might also provide socioeconomic benefits, such as biocontrol of pests if predators living in the forest fragments also forage in the plantations (Koh 2008a), and fragments could reduce soil erosion from adjacent croplands.”
• The impacts and opportunities of oil palm in Southeast Asia: What do we know and what do we need to know? (2009, background): “An empirical study in about 40 000 hectares of oil palm plantations in Borneo addressed this very question, focusing on approaches the oil palm growers currently use (Koh 2008b).”
• The orangutan–oil palm conflict: economic constraints and opportunities for conservation (2009, background): “Within a concession, disparate oil palm ‘‘complexes’’ may be found that consist of clusters of oil palm estates (‘‘estates’’ being individually managed plantations) (see, e.g., Koh 2008 ).”
• How will oil palm expansion affect biodiversity? (2008, background): “Of much greater value to biodiversity is the protection of fragments and corridors of native forest within and around plantations, including riverside buffers and remnants on steep slopes [ 59 ].”
• Functional structure of ant and termite assemblages in old growth forest, logged forest and oil palm plantation in Malaysian Borneo (2014, background): “SE Asia contains many threatened biodiversity ‘hotspots’ (e.g. Myers et al. 2000; Koh 2008), with loss of up to three quarters of the original forest projected by 2100 (Sodhi et al. 2004).”
