dc.descriptionThis work was funded through NERC’s Human Modified Tropical Forests research programme (grant number NE/K016377/1 awarded to the BALI consortium). Field data collection was supported by an ERC Advanced Grant (291585, T-FORCES) awarded to O.L.P., who is also a Royal Society-Wolfson Research Merit Award holder. We are grateful to NERC’s Airborne Research Facility and Data Analysis Node for conducting the airborne survey and pre-processing the data, and to Abdullah Ghani for operating the GPS base station during the survey. We acknowledge the South East Asia Rainforest Research Partnership, Sabah Foundation, Benta Wawasan, the State Secretary, Sabah Chief Minister’s Departments, Sabah Forestry Department, Sabah Biodiversity Centre and the Economic Planning Unit for their support, access to the field site and for permission to carry out fieldwork in Sabah. We thank the many field assistants who contributed to data collection, as well as Christopher Philipson and two anonymous reviewers for their insightful comments that helped us improve our paper.
