Insect diversity and abundance during the crepuscular and nocturnal temporal periods in the Kota Gelanggi limestone complex, Pahang, Malaysia

The diversity and abundance patterns of nocturnal insect orders during the crepuscular and nocturnal periods, 6pm-9pm, 10pm-1am and 4am-7am at Kota Gelanggi limestone complexes were investigated. The insects were collected by using light traps over a period of six months from May to October 2014. A...
