Fauna diversity in pitcher plants at Setiam Hill, Bintulu, Sarawak, Malaysia
A study was carried out to determine the diversity and enumerate the fauna species related to five pitcher plant species at a selected area in Bukit Setiam Forest, Tatau, Bintulu, Sarawak, Malaysia. At the end of the study, six insect orders together with nematodes and Araneae were detected with dif...
