Canopy versus epigeal beetle species differential diversity and feeding ecological characteritics employing light-based trapping methods across different oil palm age stand types

Suitability of canopy-height light trap tailored from both primary and secondary tropical forests was compared with the newly modified pit-light trap within the context of oil palm plantation of various age stand types and across different seasons. Beetle species were chosen as the representative of...
