Effects of Different Aged Logged-Over Forests on the Great Argus (Argusianus Argus) (Linnaeus) at Sungai Lalang Forest Reserve, Malaysia

The Great Argus (Argusianus argus argus) is a moderately large size bird compared to other pheasant species. It belongs to the family Phasianidae and subfamily Argusianinae. This subspecies of Great Argus is found in most lowland and hill Dipterocarp forests up to 818 m above sea level, but is ab...
