• Managing the tropical landscape: a comparison of the effects of logging and forest conversion to agriculture on ants, birds, and lepidoptera (2004, background): “Despite the frequent call for more research on the effects of tropical forest disturbance on fauna (e.g. Didham et al., 1996; Watt et al., 2000), our understanding of which types of disturbance most adversely and persistently affect tropical fauna remains poor.”
• The role of ants in conservation monitoring: If, when, and how (2006, background): “Watt et al. (2002) found higher species richness of canopy and leaf litter ants in tropical forest plantations after partial manual clearance than after complete, mechanical clearance.”
