• Understanding the biodiversity consequences of habitat change: the value of secondary and plantation forests for neotropical dung beetles (2007, background): “In contrast, forested areas adjacent to open habitats (most notably large natural savanna regions such as west Africa; Davis & Philips 2005; but also areas that have been heavily deforested historically, such as central America; Halffter, Favila & Halffter 1992; and the Andes; Medina, Escobar &…”
• Systematic review of effects on biodiversity from oil palm production (2014, methodology): “Also, data that had significant differences between sampling occasions [21,22] were included as independent samples.”
• Habitat fragmentation alters the structure of dung beetle communities in the Atlantic Forest (2011, background): “A vast number of studies have also documented the influence of vegetation type on dung beetle communities (Estrada et al., 1998; Davis et al., 2001; Andresen, 2005; Davis and Philips, 2005; Scheffler, 2005; Gardner et al., 2008).”
• Biofuel Plantations on Forested Lands: Double Jeopardy for Biodiversity and Climate (2009, background): “In Ghana the scarab beetle community in oil palm was dominated by invasive savanna species, which were recorded at high densities (Davis & Philips 2005), and in Sabah, ant communities were dominated by the invasive crazy ant Anoplolepis gracilipes (Brühl 2001).”
• Global dung beetle response to tropical forest modification and fragmentation: A quantitative literature review and meta-analysis (2007, background): “Several beetle communities from highly modified habitats were characterized by a hyperabundance of a few small-bodied species, including species in the genera Trichillium (Scheffler, 2005; Spector, unpublished) and Tiniocellus (Davis and Philips, 2005).”
• Impacts of oil palm plantations on changes in environmental heterogeneity and Heteroptera (Gerromorpha and Nepomorpha) diversity (2017, background): “Similar results were found in the communities of other groups of terrestrial arthropods, such coleopterans, moths, and ants (Chung et al. 2000; Davis and Philips 2005; Chey 2006; Pfeiffer et al. 2008; Brühl and Eltz 2010; Gray et al. 2014) and aquatic insects (Mercer et al.”
• Arthropods as bioindicators of sustainable forest management, with a focus on plantation forests (2009, background): “Dung beetles can be used as bioindicators of habitat disturbances caused by fragmentation in tropical rainforests and dry forests (Andresen, 2005, 2008; Davis and Philips, 2005), with a decline in their abundance in relation to modification intensity and degree of isolation from main forests (see re”
