Effects of tropical forest fragmentation on aerial insectivorous bats in a land-bridge island system. (2010, background): “Here, frequent tree fall gaps in the Gatún area might produce plant regrowth and increased production of biomass through leaf flush that enhances the proliferation of herbivorous insects (Basset et al., 2001).”
Ecology of butterflies in natural and selectively logged forests of northern Borneo: the importance of habitat heterogeneity (2003, result): “This is also in agreement with the prediction that highest diversity should occur in situations of intermediate disturbance when both climax and pioneer species can coexist (Horn 1975; Connell 1978; Basset et al. 2001).”
Termite assemblage collapse along a land-use intensification gradient in lowland central Sumatra, Indonesia (2003, unknown): “Adopting RIL practices will help preserve forest assemblages of termites as well as ants (Vasconcelos, Vilhena & Caliri 2000), dung beetles (Davis et al. 2001) and insect herbivores ( Basset et al. 2001 ).”
Monitoring arthropods in a tropical landscape: relative effects of sampling methods and habitat types on trap catches (2009, background): “It is increasingly clear that a multi-species approach, including functional guilds, appears to be better than using indicator species to monitor the responses of tropical invertebrates to disturbance (Kremen et al. 1994; Didham et al. 1996; Lawton et al. 1998; Kotze and Samways 1999; Basset et al. ”
Discriminatory power of different arthropod data sets for the biological monitoring of anthropogenic disturbance in tropical forests (2004, methodology): “This approach may be overly restrictive given the absence of any consensus on the appropriate choice of 'indicator' or 'umbrella' species, especially in the tropics (e.g.. Landres et al. 1988; Prendergast et al. 1993; Hammond 1994; Lawton et al. 1998; McGeogh 1998; Kotze and Samways 1999; Basset et ”
Conservation and biological monitoring of tropical forests: the role of parataxonomists (2004, background): “1999a, 1999b, 2002a, 2002b; Novotny & Missa 2000), conservation planning (Janzen 2000) and, much more rarely, biological monitoring (Cranston & Hillman 1992; Basset et al. 2001; Fore, Paulsen & O'Laughlin 2001).”
Usefulness of the Umbrella Species Concept as a Conservation Tool (2004, background): “A frequent criticism of the umbrella species concept is that it is improbable that the requirements of one species would encapsulate those of all other species (Noss et al. 1997; Basset et al. 2001; Hess & King 2002).”
Effects of logging on gastrointestinal parasite infections and infection risk in African primates (2005, background): “A multitude of studies have examined the effects of selective logging on the abundance and diversity of invertebrate (Hill 1999; Basset et al . 2001; Davis et al . 2001; Hamer et al . 2003) and vertebrate taxa (Johns & Skorupa 1987; Johns 1992; Heydon & Bulloh 1997; Marsden 1998; Robinson & Robins”
Diversity and composition of Arctiidae moth ensembles along a successional gradient in the Ecuadorian Andes (2005, background): “Also, Basset et al. (2001) found that, most insect herbivores species in a rain forest in Guyana were rare (38%).”
