Reply to comment by Creative_soja in Logged forest compared with an unlogged forest could be better for climate change. A detailed assessment of vegetation growth, bird and mammal numbers, and energy flows in logged and unlogged forests offers some surprising findings. by Creative_soja

Maybe the relatively recent logging of the vast majority of Malaysian Borneo's forests might have pushed some species that depend on unlogged ecosystem deeper inland where old forests remain. The old growth forests left in Malaysian Borneo are really the periphery of unlogged forests in Borneo at this point.

I'm still surprised by the results of the study though. I normally think of ecological transition zones as being more diverse.
