Diversity and composition of Amazonian moths in primary, secondary and plantation forests (2009, background): “%) of the species associated with primary forest were entirely absent from the surrounding matrix, as primary forest species became replaced by species likely to be geographically widespread disturbance or edge specialists (Dunn 2004, Horner-Devine et al. 2003).”
Arthropods as bioindicators of sustainable forest management, with a focus on plantation forests (2009, background): “Logging had less impact, while forest conversion to agriculture or pasture exerted a greater impact on overall species richness of ants, birds, and Lepidoptera (Dunn, 2004).”
More than just indicators: A review of tropical butterfly ecology and conservation (2010, background): “For Lepidoptera, conversion to agriculture might be the most destructive form of habitat loss (Dunn, 2004; Sodhi et al., 2009). However, making definitive claims about habitat disturbance effects on butterfly species diversity is difficult given the variety of responses butterflies exhibit to distur”
