- The impacts of habitat disturbance on adult and larval dragonflies (Odonata) in rainforest streams in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo (2017, background): “Mounting evidence suggests that nature in the tropics is being increasingly affected by agricultural expansion (e.g. Sodhi et al., 2004; Bradshaw, Sodhi & Brook, 2009; Laurance, Sayer & Cassman, 2014).”
- Evolutionary Processes of Diversification in a Model Island Archipelago (2013, background): “Centuries of unchecked colonial rule, political conflict, hegemony, and political corruption have fostered systematic exploitation of Philippine natural resources, resulting in rates of environmental destruction exceeding that of anywhere else on the planet (Sodhi et al. 2004).”
- Threatened Amphibians of the World (2008, background): “Coupled with constant and regular conservation status assessments, we are convinced that these efforts provide the best chances of preventing impending catastrophic amphibian extinctions that loom on the horizon if we fail to take action now (Lips et al. 2003; Sodhi et al. 2004; Stuart et al. 2004).”
- Carbon payments as a safeguard for threatened tropical mammals (2009, background): “Still, the rate of conversion of Indonesia’s forests to other land uses is accelerating (Sodhi et al. 2004).”
- How will oil palm expansion affect biodiversity? (2008, background): “Finally, a time lag between habitat loss and extinction [ 10 ] might lead to the recording of some species in oil palm plantations that cannot ultimately persist there.”
- Effects of rain forest logging on species richness and assemblage composition of small mammals in Southeast Asia (2007, neutral): “Deforestation in this area is progressing more rapidly than in any other rain-forest biome worldwide (Curran et al., 2004; Sodhi et al., 2004).”
- Island extinctions: processes, patterns, and potential for ecosystem restoration (2017, neutral): “…agriculture and large-scale deforestation at the beginning of the Holocene (e.g. Maloney 1980, 1985; Rabett & Piper 2012; Hunt & Rabett 2014) contributed more to extinctions and extirpations than initial Pleistocene colonization (Sodhi et al. 2004; Corlett 2007; Louys 2008; Morwood et al. 2008).”
- Conservation Biology for All (2010, background): “5), while the African and New World tropics have somewhat lower rates of percent-annual forest loss (Sodhi et al. 2004).”
- A Meta‐Analysis of the Impact of Anthropogenic Forest Disturbance on Southeast Asia's Biotas (2009, neutral): “…compared to other tropical regions (Meso-America, South America, and sub-Saharan Africa; N. S. Sodhi, M. R. C. Posa, T. M. Lee, D. Bickford, L. P. Koh, and B. W. Brook, pers. comm. ), and the greatest number of biodiversity hotspots (Achard et al. 2002, Sodhi et al. 2004, Sodhi & Brook 2006).”
