Ant mosaics in Bornean primary rain forest high canopy depend on spatial scale, time of day, and sampling method by Kalsum M. Yusah, William A. Foster, Glen Reynolds, Tom M. Fayle

“…Here we assess presence of ant mosaics in a hitherto under-investigated forest stratum, the emergent trees of the high canopy in primary tropical rain forest, and explore how the strength of any ant mosaics is affected by spatial scale, time of day, and sampling method. …”

Leech blood-meal invertebrate-derived DNA reveals differences in Bornean mammal diversity across habitats by Drinkwater, R., Jucker, T., Potter, J.H.T., Swinfield, T., Coomes, D.A., Slade, E.M., Gilbert, M.T.P., Lewis, O.T., Henry Bernard, Struebig, M.J., Clare, E.L., Rossiter, S.J.

“…This approach is particularly promising for sampling in the biodiverse humid tropics, where rapid land-use change for agriculture means there is a growing need to understand the conservation value of the remaining mosaic and degraded landscapes. Here we use iDNA from blood-feeding leeches (Haemadipsa picta) to assess differences in mammalian diversity across a gradient of forest degradation in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo. …”

Predicted distribution of the yellow-throated marten Martes flavigula (Mammalia: Carnivora: Mustelidae) on Borneo by Jason Hon, Andrew J Hearn, Joanna Ross, Hiromitsu Samejima, D. M. Augeri, John Mathai, Azlan Mohamed, Ramesh Boonratana, Gabriella Margit Fredriksson, Susan Cheyne, Matthew J Heydon, Raymond Alfred, Gono Semiadi, Henry Bernard, David Macdonald, Jerry Belant, Stephanie Kramer-Schadt, Andreas Wilting

“…The habitat suitability model predicted that the yellow-throated marten is widespread within Borneo, likely to occur in mosaics of lowland and upland forests, including old plantations and active logging areas; but unlikely to use young plantations and crops, perhaps including oil palm plantations. …”
