Length–biomass equations to allow rapid assessment of semi‐aquatic bug biomass in tropical streams (2022)
Journal Article

1. Length-biomass equations are relatively easy and cost-effective for deriving insect biomass. However, the exact relationship can vary between taxa and geographical regions. 2. Semi-aquatic bugs are abundant and are indicators of freshwater qualit... Read More about Length–biomass equations to allow rapid assessment of semi‐aquatic bug biomass in tropical streams.

Spiders in canopy and ground microhabitats are robust to changes in understory vegetation management practices in mature oil palm plantations (Riau, Indonesia) (2022)
Journal Article

Conversion of natural habitats to oil palm agriculture has caused declines in biodiversity and changes in ecosystem functions. To preserve biodiversity we must protect natural habitats, but once oil palm plantations are established, developing more-e...

Nine actions to successfully restore tropical agroecosystems (2022)
Journal Article

Well-designed approaches to ecological restoration can benefit nature and society. This is particularly the case in tropical agroecosystems, where restoration can provide substantial socioecological benefits at relatively low costs. To successfully r...

A systematic map of within-plantation oil palm management practices reveals a rapidly growing but patchy evidence base (2022)
Journal Article

Although oil palm expansion has had severe environmental impacts, oil palm also has the highest yield per hectare of any vegetable oil crop. Compared to many other crops, it has the potential to support high complexity habitats, with minimal chemical...
