| description | This study is about collecting the ants that categorized under the family of
Formicidae. But, it only focused on identifying the species under one subfamily
which is Formicinae that exist in UiTM Pahang. The problem statements of this
research were the total number of ants species that live in UiTM Pahang is not
accurately known, the morphology and characteristics of the species is not well
documented and existence of species distribution of ants with differing population
is unidentified. The goals of this study is to identify the species under subfamily
Formicinae. Next, to study the dichotomous key and describe the morphology and
characteristics of the species. Last objective is to map the existing species of
subfamily Formicinae in UiTM Pahang. The sampling time for this research is
from September until October. There are two sampling methods which were
pitfall trap and the Winkler method. The samples were observed under the
microscope in order to identify the taxonomic characteristic. An identification key
and morphology description based on the species, genus and family were
provided. The sampling area consists of plantation, residential and forest reserve.
The results obtained were 229 individuals of the ants subfamily Formicinae. This
comprises of 9 genera and 23 species. The most common genera recorded were
Polyrhachis followed by Camponotus. The rare genera which were Formica and
Lepisiota and Camponotus gigas was the rare species. Plantation yields the
highest number of genera and species which 9 genera and 22 species, followed by
8 genera and 21 species from forest reserve and 9 genera and 20 species from
residential. |
