This study shows that oil palm plantation age affects microclimate and biodiversity, with older plantations being cooler, more humid, and supporting different species abundances and diversity.

This paper reviews biodiversity monitoring methods over 22 years, finding increasing use of scalable techniques but persistent spatial and taxonomic biases.

The paper evaluates a community-based conservation model in Kenya, finding that cattle grazing supports wildlife but requires management to control threats like sheep/goat grazing and infrastructure proximity.

This study tracks the rapid spread of African Swine Fever across Borneo using citizen science data and estimates the increasing speed of the virus's spread.

The paper analyzes resilience loss in Bornean rainforests using satellite data, finding accelerated resilience decline after 2004 linked to climate, human activity, and biodiversity.

The paper develops interpretable machine learning methods to classify land use from soundscape data, improving accuracy by filtering non-informative audio and identifying key acoustic elements.

The paper introduces MAARU, a low-cost, open-source multichannel acoustic recorder for spatial ecosystem monitoring, demonstrating its accuracy in localizing sounds and improving species identification.

The study examines how individual species respond to tropical forest degradation, finding significant variation in responses across populations and surveys.

This study shows that maintaining high forest quality is more important than area for conserving beetle biodiversity in Borneo, with small degraded fragments still supporting significant richness.
