Invertebrate-Mediated Ecosystem Processes are Resilient to Disturbance Across a Land-Use Gradient in Borneo
A fundamental challenge for ecologists is to evaluate the effects of anthropogenic disturbance on ecosystem processes and functions. Tropical rainforests in Borneo are biologically diverse and provide an array...

Open AccessMammal responses to global changes in human activity vary by trophic group and landscape
Wildlife must adapt to human presence to survive in the Anthropocene, so it is critical to understand species responses to humans in different contexts. We used camera trap** as a lens to view mammal respons...

Open AccessDeep biogeographic barriers explain divergent global vertebrate communities
Biogeographic history can lead to variation in biodiversity across regions, but it remains unclear how the degree of biogeographic isolation among communities may lead to differences in biodiversity. Biogeogra...

Landscape-scale benefits of protected areas for tropical biodiversity
The United Nations recently agreed to major expansions of global protected areas (PAs) to slow biodiversity declines1. However, although reserves often reduce habitat loss, their efficacy at preserving animal div...

Trophic rewilding can expand natural climate solutions
Natural climate solutions are being advanced to arrest climate warming by protecting and enhancing carbon capture and storage in plants, soils and sediments in ecosystems. These solutions are viewed as having ...

Open AccessSocio-ecological factors shape the distribution of a cultural keystone species in Malaysian Borneo
Biophysical and socio-cultural factors have jointly shaped the distribution of global biodiversity, yet relatively few studies have quantitatively assessed the influence of social and ecological landscapes on ...

Determinants of sun bear Helarctos malayanus habitat use in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo and its predicted distribution under future forest degradation and loss
Habitat loss, habitat degradation and poaching threaten the survival of large mammals in Southeast Asia. Studies on these threats tend to focus on small spatial scales (i.e. a protected area), precluding regio...

Food availability alters community co-occurrence patterns at fine spatiotemporal scales in a tropical masting system
Patterns of co-occurrence among species can help reveal the structure and assembly of ecological communities. However, studies have been limited by measuring co-occurrence in either space or time but not both ...

Open AccessFungi and insects compensate for lost vertebrate seed predation in an experimentally defaunated tropical forest
Overhunting reduces important plant-animal interactions such as vertebrate seed dispersal and seed predation, thereby altering plant regeneration and even above-ground biomass. It remains unclear, however, if ...

Open AccessThreatened species richness along a Himalayan elevational gradient: quantifying the influences of human population density, range size, and geometric constraints
A crucial step in conserving biodiversity is to identify the distributions of threatened species and the factors associated with species threat status. In the biodiversity hotspot of the Himalaya, very little ...

Persistence of mammals in a selectively logged forest in Malaysian Borneo
Many tropical mammals with important functional roles in forest ecosystems are threatened with extinction, yet how they respond to increasingly prevalent habitat disturbance, such as selective logging, is not ...

Open AccessPredicting the geographical distributions of the macaque hosts and mosquito vectors of Plasmodium knowlesi malaria in forested and non-forested areas
Plasmodium knowlesi is a zoonotic pathogen, transmitted among macaques and to humans by anopheline mosquitoes. Information on P. knowlesi malaria is lacking in most regions so the firs...

Persistence of Tropical Asian Ungulates in the Face of Hunting and Climate Change
Understanding how climate change and hunting influence population persistence is crucial for the conservation of animals such as ungulates that are economically important and also serve important ecological ro...

Impacts of non-oil tree plantations on biodiversity in Southeast Asia
Tree plantations are rapidly expanding throughout Southeast Asia, and likely pose threats to the conservation of native biodiversity. While the impacts of oil palm expansion on tropical biodiversity has receiv...

Differential responses of large mammals to logging and edge effects
Selective logging is one of the most widespread disturbances to tropical forests worldwide, yet its impacts on large mammals remain poorly understood. We used camera trap** and hierarchical models to compare...

Open AccessTrophic interactions and dynamic herbivore responses to snowpack
Trophic interactions and population structure can shape how climate change influences ecosystems by modifying herbivore responses to environmental conditions. Predation can influence herbivore behaviour and de...

Wolverines and declining snowpack: response to comments
The critiques by DeVink et al. (2010) and McKelvey et al. (2010) are flawed for several reasons. We show here that, contrary to what DeVink et al. claim, the influence of annual pelt price on wolverine harvest re...

Nonlinear responses of wolverine populations to declining winter snowpack
Understanding the population-level impacts of climate change is critical for effectively managing ecosystems. Predators are important components of many systems because they provide top−down control of communi...
