We live amid a global wave of anthropogenically driven biodiversity loss: species and
population extirpations and, critically, declines in local species abundance. Particularly …

Roughly 90% of butterfly species live in the tropics. Despite this, we know very little about
tropical butterfly ecology particularly when compared to temperate butterfly systems. The …

Most tropical forests outside protected areas have been or will be selectively logged so it is
essential to maximize the conservation values of partially harvested areas. Here we …

Southeast Asia experiences one of the highest rates of deforestation in the tropics due to
agricultural expansion, logging, habitat fragmentation and urbanization, which are expected …

Mangroves are complex ecosystems that regulate nutrient and sediment fluxes to the open
sea. The importance of bacteria and fungi in regulating nutrient cycles has led to an interest …

Summary 1 There is an urgent need to understand the impacts of anthropogenic habitat
disturbance on biodiversity in tropical forests, but no consensus has yet emerged. We …

Much recent marine microbial research has focused on sponges, but very little is known
about how the sponge microbiome fits in the greater coral reef microbial metacommunity …

Summary 1 South‐east Asia has the highest relative rate of habitat loss and degradation in
the humid tropics. The responses of less 'charismatic'groups, including butterflies, to habitat …

The ecological consequences of logging have been and remain a focus of considerable
debate. In this study, we assessed bird species composition within a logging concession in …

In the present study, we assessed the composition of Bacteria in four biotopes namely
sediment, seawater and two sponge species (Stylissa massa and Xestospongia …
