• Fuelling the biodiversity crisis: species loss of ground-dwelling forest ants in oil palm plantations in Sabah, Malaysia (Borneo) (2010, background): “Arboreal ants were studied by Pfeiffer et al. (2008), who intensively sampled from oil palm stems and freshly cut palm fronds.”
• Oil palm expansion into rain forest greatly reduces ant biodiversity in canopy, epiphytes and leaf-litter (2010, result): “…Leaf litter. onsequently, we found a much higher species richness of nts in plantations (110 species) than previous studies (Brühl nd Eltz 2009, 23 species; Dejean et al. 1997, six species; feiffer et al. 2008, 39 and 36 species in different areas; oom 1975, 29 species; Taylor 1977, 20 species).”
