Sample plots of 10 aerial traps per habitat type were set in two
sites containing a forest patch, a palm plantation and some agricultural land. Overall, 2,217 individuals belonging to 31 species were collected. Typical species of each habitat were identified with the IndVal method (Dufrêne and Legendre 1997). Species were categorized into three habitat-
groups: forest specialists (11 species), farmland and open habitat specialists (9 species) and ubiquitous, generalist species found in all habitats (5 species). Only six species were too rare for assessing habitat preference. Palm plantations host a low density of Cetoniinae with no unique species. However, species composition reveals that they
are used by forest specialist species that avoid open habitats like farmlands, therefore providing structural connectivity. Cetoniine flower beetles have potential as an indicator group, which can be used in multi-taxa approaches for habitat assessments in Africa. Using species-level
metrics, their response to habitat change is clear, including the response of common species. This method is selective, cost-effective in time and materials, and species identification is rather straightforward.10aBioindicators10aCommunity specialization10aCost-effectiveness10adiversity10aForest fragments10aOil palm1 aTOUROULT, J.1 aLe Gall, P.  uhttp://www.springerlink.com/content/h73gh4427211570k/00682nas a2200193   4500008004100000245014900041210006900190300001200259490000800271653001400279653001400293653002200307653003200329653002000361653002100381100001700402700001600419856005300435       2000                        eng d00aEffects of forest management practices on the diversity of ground-occurring beetles in mixed northern hardwood forests of the Great Lakes Region0 aEffects of forest management practices on the diversity of groun  a135-1550 v13910acarabidae10adiversity10aforest management10aground-occurring coleoptera10ahardwood forest10atsuga canadensis1 aWerner, S.M.1 aRaffa, K.F.  uhttps://insectafgseag.myspecies.info/fr/node/52601518nas a2200169   4500008004100000245009300041210006900134300001000203490000800213520099800221653002201219653001401241653001101255653000901266100002001275856005301295       2004                        eng d00aCanopy arthropod communities on Mexican oaks at sites with different disturbance regimes0 aCanopy arthropod communities on Mexican oaks at sites with diffe  a79-870 v1153 aWe examined the effects of forest disturbance and fragmentation on diversity and composition of canopy arthropod fauna in six oak species in central Mexico. Canopy fogging of 54 trees during rainy and dry seasons was conducted on three temperate forests with different levels of disturbance and habitat fragmentation. In total, we found 831 morphospecies belonging to 20 arthropod orders. Diversity of arthropods was higher in the rainy season. Acari, Hymenoptera and Diptera orders dominated during the dry season, and Acari and Collembola during the rainy season. Oak species distributed in sites with lower disturbance had significantly higher arthropod diversity than those distributed in disturbed and fragmented sites. Mean density of arthropod fauna ranged from 47.0 individuals m2 in the dry season to 375.5 m2 in the rainy season. Forest disturbance and fragmentation reduced the number of arthropod morphospecies and modified the relative abundance of arthropods at order level10acanopy arthropods10adiversity10aMexico10aoaks1 aTovarsanchez, E  uhttps://insectafgseag.myspecies.info/fr/node/49601678nas a2200205   4500008004100000245011500041210007200156260001800228300001200246490000700258520104000265653001501305653001101320653001401331653001501345653001501360100001801375700002601393856005301419       2003                        eng d00aAnálise faun\'\istica de Braconidae (Hymenoptera) em três áreas de mata nativa do Estado do Paraná, Brasil0 aAnálise faunistica de Braconidae Hymenoptera em três áreas de ma  bSciELO Brasil  a187-1950 v473 aFaunistic analysis of Braconidae (Hymenoptera) in three areas of native woods of Paraná State, Brazil. The material studied comes from three of the several natural environments which still occur in Paraná State. The samples were collected during the project PROFAUPAR, developed by Departamento de Zoologia, Universidade Federal do Paraná. The selected sites were: Antonina (in the coastal plain), São José dos Pinhais (in the coastal mountain range) and Telêmaco Borba (in the second plateau). During one year of the project, 2,106 specimens of Braconidae were collected with light trap. These wasps represented 21 subfamilies and 1,966 specimens were identified in 85 genera. Hormiinae, Rogadinae, Microgastrinae, Alysiinae, Doryctinae and Meteorinae were the most frequent subfamilies. Indices of diversity and evenness were used to discuss richness and dominance of genera in each locality. Statistical analyses indicated that the asymptote of actual genera richness have been approached only to Antonina and Telêmaco Borba.10aBraconidae10aBrazil10adiversity10alight trap10aparasitoid1 aScatolini, D.1 aPenteado-Dias, A.M.M.  uhttps://insectafgseag.myspecies.info/fr/node/43201638nas a2200217   4500008004100000245012400041210006900165300001400234490000600248520097500254653001401229653001501243653001401258653001801272653002001290100001601310700001401326700001301340700001401353856005301367       2001                        eng d00aA Study on Four Methods of Sampling Ichneumonidae and Braconidae at Two Different Habitats of Fraser’s Hill, Malaysia0 aStudy on Four Methods of Sampling Ichneumonidae and Braconidae a  a1515-15170 v43 aA study on four methods of sampling Ichneumonidae and Braconidae at two different habitats of Fraser’s Hill was conducted from 12 – 15 November 2000. The sampling methods tested were malaise trap (MT), yellow pan trap (YPT), flight intercept trap (FIT) and sweeping net (SWN). YPT collected the most ichneumonids while FIT collected similar numbers of ichneumonids and braconids. MT seemed to collect less ichneumonids individuals as compared with other two methods, but had high H’ for ichneumonid morphospecies, indicating that MT is relatively a better method for estimating diversity over the other methods. None of the tested sampling methods has better edge over the others in collecting ichneumonids and braconids irrespective of habitat types. As such, the use of all suitable sampling methods for certain habitats per unit time are still the best suggestion in order to get enough collection and better diversity of estimation especially for ichneumonids.10aabundance10aBraconidae10adiversity10aIchneumonidae10aSampling method1 aGonzaga, AD1 aZaidi, MI1 aAzman, S1 aSalmah, Y  uhttps://insectafgseag.myspecies.info/fr/node/32401227nas a2200181   4500008004100000245013900041210006900180300001200249490000600261520064300267653001400910653001300924653001600937653001400953653001600967100001000983856005200993       2001                        eng d00aPreliminary Study on Differential Abundance and Diversity of Ichneumonids and Braconids in Star Fruit Orchard and Oil Palm Plantations0 aPreliminary Study on Differential Abundance and Diversity of Ich  a958-9590 v43 aThe preliminary study on differential abundance and diversity of ichneumonids and braconids of star fruit and oil palms was conducted between July and November 1999. The braconids species seemed to be more abundant and diverse than the ichneumonids irrespective of the two agricultural habitats. This indicates a differential habitat preference between these two parasitic wasps. The highly disturbed agricultural habitat had significantly more diverse ichneumonid species than the moderately disturbed one. We have suggested ways to use and materialize these two parasitoid groups for controlling insect pests oil palm and fruit orchard.10aabundance10abraconid10adisturbance10adiversity10aIchneumonid1 aAB, I  uhttps://insectafgseag.myspecies.info/fr/node/98
