We estimated the biodiversity value of forest fragments in peninsular Malaysia by studying fragmentation impacts on insectivorous bat species that vary in dependence of forest.
The sample of parents was obtained from the state of Pahang (the largest state in Peninsular Malaysia) where the study was conducted, and the sample was smaller than samples used in previous studies.
As stated earlier the Peninsular States in India (study area) are characterized by a well-defined rainy season "monsoon" (June September).
In this work, an optimization of this approach has been carried out by adjusting the inputs (fAPAR, PAR and ε) for the study area, peninsular Spain, a typical Mediterranean region.
A preliminary survey of bat sera collected in peninsular Malaysia from our previous studies indicated a low prevalence of KamV-specific antibodies in at least two different bat species, Pteropus vampyrus (1/55) and Pteropus hypomelaunus (2/77).
The study area comprises peninsular gneissic complex of Archean age, younger granites and basaltic alluvium.
Three geological formations comprise the study area: (1) Peninsular Gneissic Complex, (2) Basaltic Alluvium and (3) Younger Granite.
The study area was peninsular Spain.
Hourly rainfall data from 13 stations in Peninsular Malaysia were used in the study.
A total of 120 respondents, randomly selected from four centers in the central zone of Peninsular Malaysia, were involved in this study.
