Elevation increases in moth assemblages over 42 years on a tropical mountain
TLDR
Evidence that tropical insect species have already undertaken altitude increases is provided, confirming the global reach of climate change impacts on biodiversity and urging ecologists to seek other historic tropical samples to carry out similar repeat surveys.

Ecology of butterflies in natural and selectively logged forests of northern Borneo: the importance of habitat heterogeneity
1. The impacts of habitat disturbance on biodiversity within tropical forests are an area of current concern but are poorly understood and difficult to predict. This is due in part to a poor…

The diversity of beetle assemblages in different habitat types in Sabah, Malaysia.
TLDR
The diversity of beetle assemblages in different habitat types in Sabah, Malaysia was investigated using three different methods based on habitat levels, with oil palm plantation assemblage being most severely affected, followed by acacia plantation and then logged forest.

Asymmetric boundary shifts of tropical montane Lepidoptera over four decades of climate warming
Aim To estimate whether species have shifted at equal rates at their leading edges (cool boundaries) and trailing edges (warm boundaries) in response to climate change. We provide the first such…

Impacts of rain forest fragmentation on butterflies in northern Borneo: species richness, turnover and the value of small fragments
Summary 1 Widespread and rapid losses of tropical rain forests have made understanding the responses of species to rain forest fragmentation an area of major concern. In this study we examined…

Coefficient shifts in geographical ecology: an empirical evaluation of spatial and non-spatial regression
A major focus of geographical ecology and macroecology is to understand the causes of spatially structured ecological patterns. However, achieving this understanding can be complicated when using…

Diversity of moths in forest plantations and natural forests in Sabah
TLDR
The diversity of macromoths in the various fast-growing exotic tree plantations and natural secondary forest in Brumas, Sabah, Malaysia was assessed by means of an annual cycle of light-trap samples, and Eucalyptus deglupta showed moth diversity as high as that in the naturalsecondary forest.

Temporal variation in abundance and diversity of butterflies in Bornean rain forests: opposite impacts of logging recorded in different seasons
We used traps baited with fruit to examine how the temporal variation of butterflies within primary forest in Sabah, Borneo differed between species. In addition, we compared patterns of temporal…
