Habitat: tropical/subtropical moist broadleaf forest

Altered habitat: plantation

Substrate: ground surface

Disturbance: agriculture,selective logging

MAT: 20.6

MAP: 1369.0

Habitat comments: "evergreen broad-leaved forests... the overstorey species were planted over extensively cleared land, and the dominant species did not necessarily represent what previously occurred naturally. Most trees planted in Plantation were economically important, particularly for lac-scale farming... a mixed plantation"

Life forms: ants

Sampling methods: line transect,sweep nets,pitfall traps

Sample size: 1953 individuals

Years: 2009

Days: 5

Nets or traps: 40

Net or trap nights: 200

Sampling comments: four plots; "Sampling was conducted during sunny and warm weather... in April 2009... We established one 90 m transect in each plot to sample both epigeic and arboreal ants. Epigeic ants were sampled using 10 pitfall traps spaced 10 m apart along the transect... Traps were operated for 5 days... Arboreal ants were sampled by sweep netting and foliage shaking. Ten sweep net samples were collected along each transect"
