Table 5. Partial list (for additions and improvements) of single-species ecological studies,
with a rough indication of the length of studies and names of researchers or institutions.
Many shorter studies, and mixed field and laboratory studies, could be added to this list,
which emphasizes graduate-level field research. DWNP = Dept. of Wildlife & National Parks.

more emphasis on single-issue studies such as the effects of hunting, fire, and logging.
From the earliest days there have been site-specific expeditions, to investigate places where
taxonomic novelties were expected, and to fill in gaps of geographical coverage. Early examples
were the expeditions led by the Federated Malay States Museums to Gunung Tahan and
Gunung Kinabalu. Later examples have included Gunung Benom (Medway 1972), Pulau
Tioman, Gunung Lawit (no consolidated publication), Danum Valley (Kiew 1977), Gunung
Mulu (Anderson et al. 1979), and Lambir Hills (Soepadmo 1984). Furthermore, important
series of papers on the conservation of mammalian diversity have been published by Wyatt-
Smith & Wycherley (1961), and by Bennett (1991), Payne & Andau (1991), Ratnam et al.
(1991) and Zaaba et al. (1991).
AVAILABLE CHECKLISTS AND REVISIONS
Checklists and revisions have formed the basis for all of the medical-related, physiological,
synecological and autecological work mentioned above. There are formal checklists as well
as field guides for all parts of Malaysia. The essential lists for Peninsular Malaysia were
given by Medway (1969, 1978, 1983), and the relevant field guide is by Francis (2001). The
