Pseudo-mapping of insect diversity in Kuala Keniam, National Park, Pahang / Fauziah Ismail … [et al.]

A study on pseudo-mapping of insect diversity in Kuala Keniam, a part of National Park was carried out in December 2009 until March 2010. National Park of Malaysia is a premier National Park, with a total area of 4,343 square kilometres covering the states of Pahang, Kelantan and Terengganu. The stu...

National Park of Malaysia is a premier National Park, with a total area of 4,343 square kilometres covering the states of Pahang, Kelantan and Terengganu. The study was carried out using four sampling techniques including yellow pan trap, pitfall trap, light trap and sweep net and each sampling point has been made randomly.

All data were analysed and presented using pseudo-mapping.
