Insect diversity of Sg. Rawog Conservation Area in Segaliud Lokan Forest Reserve, Sabah

Nocturnal insect diversity was assessed through light-trapping while diurnal insects were documented through sweep nets and forceps. A mean 104 species of nocturnal insects was recorded from a one-square-metre of the light-trapping cloth, with an average of 128 individuals. The mean Shannon Index wa...
