Trait-dependent declines of species following conversion of rain forest to oil palm plantations
Original language description
Conversion of natural habitats to agriculture reduces species richness, particularly in highly diverse tropical regions, but its effects on species composition are less well-studied. The conversion of rain forest to oil palm is of particular conservationconcern globally, and we examined how it affects the abundance of birds, beetles, and ants according to their local population size, body size, geographical range size, and feeding guild or trophic position. We re-analysed data from six published studies representing 487 species/genera to assess the relative importance of these traits in explaining changes in abundance following forest conversion. We found consistent patterns across all three taxa, with large-bodied, abundant forest species from highertrophic levels, declining most in abundance following conversion of forest to oil palm. Best-fitting models explained 39-66 % of the variation in abundance changes for the three taxa, and included all ecological traits that we considered
