TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight the conservation importance of Southeast Asia by comparing its degree of species endemism and endangerment, and its rate of deforestation with other tropical regions (i.e., Meso-America, South America, and Sub-Saharan Africa).

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of land-use changes on plants, invertebrates, vertebrates and ecosystem functioning/services in Southeast Asia were synthesized, and the authors found that species richness and abundance/density of forestdependent taxa generally declined in disturbed compared to mature forests.

TL;DR: In this article, the current status and biological knowledge of tropical peat swamp forests, as well as the impacts of human disturbances are reviewed, showing that these forests have distinct floral compositions, provide habitat for a considerable proportion of the region's fauna and are important for the conservation of threatened taxa, particularly specialized freshwater fishes.

TL;DR: A collection of images of representative attack marks from each of the coarse predator categories, and descriptions of their defining characteristics, can serve as a guide to assist with identifications and this will be complemented by a good knowledge of the locally occurring and abundant predators.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight different ways that scientists can engage various sectors of society and argue that passion, enthusiasm, and an understanding of the culture of human belief systems can help us to communicate effectively with a wider audience.
