- Impacts of rain forest fragmentation on butterflies in northern Borneo: species richness, turnover and the value of small fragments (2006, background): “This is evident in tropical regions, where remnants of forest exist within agricultural and urban landscapes, resulting in the remaining forest patches supporting increasingly isolated populations of forestdependent species ( Brook, Sodhi & Ng 2003 ).”
- Unreported yet massive deforestation driving loss of endemic biodiversity in Indian Himalaya (2006, background): “Studies have shown that forest-dependent species are usually unable to cope with habitat loss (Brook et al. 2003).”
- Global change effects on humid tropical forests: Evidence for biogeochemical and biodiversity shifts at an ecosystem scale (2016, background): “Forest fragmentation has also been documented as a key driver of plant species losses in Singapore, where nearly a quarter of all vascular plant species disappeared from 1819 to 2002 [Brook et al., 2003].”
- Functional Diversity — at the Crossroads between Ecosystem Functioning and Environmental Filters (2007, background): “Recent assessments have shown strong asymmetries in the extinction risk of species with certain traits (McKinney and Lockwood 1999), or belonging to different habitats (Brook et al. 2003) or biomes (Thomas et al. 2004).”
- Cascading extinctions as a hidden driver of insect decline (2020, background): “This highlights its importance in diminishing insect populations through the expansion and intensification of agriculture, forestry, livestock production, urbanisation, and mining (Brook et al., 2003; Habel et al., 2019; Mammola et al., 2019).”
- Using presence‐only modelling to predict Asian elephant habitat use in a tropical forest landscape: implications for conservation (2010, background): “One of the most prominent opinions amongst conservation biologists studying the effect of anthropogenic influences on wildlife distributions is that habitat alterations is the biggest threat to the survival of wildlife today (Laurance, 1999; Achard et al., 2002; Brook et al., 2003).”
- Global Biodiversity Change: The Bad, the Good, and the Unknown (2012, background): “Not all species respond equally to habitat changes (105–107): When forest is converted to agriculture and pastures, some species may increase in abundance, whereas other species, particularly habitat specialists (108, 109), can decline or even go locally extinct.”
