数据和分析的试点研究在Danum地区的沙巴，东马来西亚，和其他地方在印度-澳大利亚热带地区被用来衡量伐木和其他人为干扰，如转换为种植园，昆虫多样性的影响。研究的两个昆虫群体有非常不同的营养需求：蛾类，与植物区系特定的草食性，和粪和腐肉甲虫，利用资源的质量更均匀不同的森林系统。蛾类表现出显着的损失的多样性和分类质量的干扰和转换到种植园。甲虫在多样性和区系组成方面的变化要小得多。对生物多样性保护的影响进行了讨论，并提出了进一步工作的建议。
Data and analyses from pilot studies in the Danum area of Sabah, East Malaysia, and elsewhere in the Indo-Australian tropics are used to measure the effects of logging and other human disturbance, such as conversion to plantation, on insect diversity. The two insect groups studied have very different trophic requirements: moths, with floristically specific herbivory, and dung and carrion beetles, exploiting resources of much more uniform quality over different forest systems. Moths show significant loss of diversity and taxonomic quality with disturbance and conversion to plantation. The beetles show much less change in diversity and faunistic composition. The implications for conservation of biodiversity are discussed, and suggestions for further work are made.
