TL;DR: Future research needs to consider insect herbivore phenotypic and genotypic flexibility, their responses to global change parameters operating in concert, and awareness that some patterns may only become apparent in the longer term.

TL;DR: A gradient from near-primary, through old-growth secondary and plantation forests to complete clearance, for eight animal groups in the Mbalmayo Forest Reserve, south-central Cameroon is examined, indicating the huge scale of the biological effort required to provide inventories of tropical diversity, and to measure the impacts of tropical forest modification and clearance.

TL;DR: It is hypothesised that conservation outcomes will be less durable when conservationists assert their interests to the detriment of others and the efficacy of alternative conflict management approaches are evaluated.

TL;DR: Methods of evaluating change in biodiversity at the community level using long-term datasets are reviewed, and whole-community approaches with those that combine information from different species and habitats are contrasted.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a historical perspective on the development of conflicts related to biodiversity in agricultural landscapes and evaluate strategies to reconcile such conflicts, emphasizing the need for monitoring as an integral part of conflict reconciliation strategies.
