Description
Summary:Forest becomes essential natural resource that greatly sustain the existence of flora and fauna diversity, including ant species. The presence of ants can be used as bio-indicator for habitat condition. On the other hand, forest conversion threats the live of ants. The purpose of this study was to determine the diversity of ant and its composition at three different habitats, namely secondary forest, disturbed habitat and rubber plantation. The study had been conducted in February 2020 using pitfall traps that deployed for 72 hours. This research recorded from the three studied habitats as many as 16 species from seven tribes and four subfamilies. The rubber plantation and disturbed habitat had moderate diversity of ant, indicated from its H’ value range between 1 to 3, while the secondary forest became the lowest in the diversity of ant with H’ less than 1.
