I'm Charmaine Ng, a Year 1 student at ASE. From June to July 2026, I had the opportunity to join the TEE Lab and work on my project titled "Effects of Habitat Disturbance on Mammal Diversity and Community Composition in Sabah, Borneo". My project is about analysing mammal camera trap data to find out how mammal species richness, species diversity, and community composition differs across a disturbance gradient of Sabah forests. It is part of the Stability of Altered Forest Ec

Tropical forests are highly diverse and are of significant conservation value. Yet, the continuing disturbance of these habitats, coupled with the effects of climate change, has profound impacts on microclimates and tropical forest organisms. In this study published in iScience , the authors investigated the microclimatic buffering capacity at the scale of functionally important invertebrates along a gradient of forest disturbance (quantified by canopy cover) in the Stability

In early 2024, we returned to the Stability of Altered Forest Ecosystems (SAFE) project area in Kalabakan Tawau to resample dung beetles...

We are thrilled to announce our return to action! In November our team embarked on an expedition to the Stability of Altered Forest...
