The effect of elevation on diversity and abundance of class insecta at Gunung Datuk, Negeri Sembilan

Insect are among the most diverse and ecologically important organisms on the earth, but their diversity and abundance are rarely quantified. The study was set out at Gunung Datuk, Negeri Sembilan with the objective to determine the diversity and abundance of insects and to identify the differences...
