Dr Michael Boyle, Dr Adam Sharp, Louise Ashton Timothy Bonebrake HKU School of Biological Sciences show reduced abundance of undescribed beetle species in logged Borneo rainforests. Unknown tropical insect biodiversity appears less resilient to human-induced environmental change. authors.elsevier.com/a/1jdIk3QW8S6F…
