Abstract:
Ants data obtained by baiting with 6 used nutrients (water, salt solution, sugar solution, amino-acid solution, amino-acid-sugar solution, oil). Data were collected during the wet and the dry season 2014 on the coreplots and intermediate elevation levels (1000, 1500, 2000, 2500, 3000) on disturbed and undisturbed forest plots. The predation data were collected using an artificial caterpillar approach.
Keywords:
| biodiversity | altitudinal gradient | species richness | abundance | ant | disturbed forest | natural forest | predation |
