BIODIVERSITY INDICATOR GROUPS OF TROPICAL LAND‐USE SYSTEMS: COMPARING PLANTS, BIRDS, AND INSECTS (2004, background): “E-mail: ttschar@gwdg.de 2000, Liow et al. 2001, Costa and Magnusson 2002, Thompson et al. 2002) or guilds (e.g., Canaday 1996, Beck and Schulze 2000, Fermon et al. 2000, Fermon 2002, Waltert et al. 2004, Schulze et al. 2004, Shahabuddin et al. 2004).”
Southeast Asian biodiversity: an impending disaster. (2004, background): “Recent studies reveal a trend of declining species richness and population density with increasing forest disturbance through logging activities, agriculture or urbanization across a range of Southeast Asian taxa, including termites [27], dung beetles [28], ants [29], bees [ 30 ], butterflies [31], ”
Global dung beetle response to tropical forest modification and fragmentation: A quantitative literature review and meta-analysis (2007, background): “Similar patterns of species loss and replacement with increasing modification of tropical forest have been documented for multiple taxa (Liow et al., 2001 and Scott et al., 2006).”
Effects of land management on the abundance and richness of spiders (Araneae): A meta-analysis (2011, background): “Decreases in vertebrate diversity are better documented but studies on invertebrates are also available (Bawa and Seidler, 1998; Brook et al., 2003; Liow et al., 2001; Moretti et al., 2004; Sodhi et al., 2009).”
Fruit set of highland coffee increases with the diversity of pollinating bees (2003, background): “Forest distance is known to affect social bees greatly in the tropics, because forests offer a wealth of suitable nesting sites for colonies of stingless bees and honeybees (Liow et al. 2001; Klein et al. 2002).”
The effects of human disturbance on a stingless bee community in a tropical rainforest (2004, background): “Although decreases in the species richness and population density of stingless bees proportional to the intensity of human disturbance have been reported (Inoue et al., 1990; Lee et al., 2001), the mechanisms responsible for these declines in the stingless bee community are still unclear.”
The impact of forest conversion to oil palm on arthropod abundance and biomass in Sabah, Malaysia (2009, background): “In Malaysia and Singapore, Liow et al. (2001) found higher species richness of bees in oil palm plantations than areas of primary forest.”
How will oil palm expansion affect biodiversity? (2008, background): “Species composition and abundance Most studies found large differences in faunal species composition between oil palm and forests [27,32,35,36, 39 ,40].”
Conserving Southeast Asian forest biodiversity in human-modified landscapes (2010, background): “…agroforestry systems, high levels of pollination and yield in coffee (Klein et al., 2003) and pumpkin (Hoehn et al., 2008) depend on a high diversity of bee species, which is only available in heterogeneous environments including nearby forests providing natural bee habitats (Liow et al., 2001).”
