There were more understorey beetles in the acacia plantation, which has more ground cover, compared with the oilpalmplantation(see figs 4 and 8b).
From theCambridge English Corpus
The trophic structure of the beetle fauna was greatly affected in severely modified environments such as the oilpalmplantation.
From theCambridge English Corpus
A few species became numerically dominant in the oilpalmplantation.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The oilpalmplantationbeetles were, however, distinctly different from the rest of the sites.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The oilpalmplantationhas become the largest sector in terms of area after it surpassed the rubber plantation sector in 1997.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Thus, forest plantation is a better environment for maintaining beetle composition than oilpalmplantation.
From theCambridge English Corpus
A few species in the oilpalmplantationbecame numerically dominant despite low beetle diversity.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The two parameters were also significantly higher in the acacia plantation compared with the oilpalmplantation.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Human activities such as harvesting, pruning, manuring and insecticide spraying were common in the oilpalmplantation.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Environmental changes affected the trophic structure with proportionally more herbivores (abundance) but fewer predators (species richness and abundance) in the oilpalmplantation.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The species rankabundance curves (fig. 5) shows that the oilpalmplantationhas the steepest curve, followed by acacia plantation, then logged forest and finally primary forest.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Understorey beetle numbers were lower in the oilpalmplantationcompared with the acacia plantation.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Similarly, a higher percentage of canopy cover of mist-blown trees in the oilpalmplantationdid not yield more tree-dwelling beetles than those in the acacia plantation.
From theCambridge English Corpus
In all cases the oilpalmplantationbeetles were far apart from the rest suggesting that the beetle composition of the oil palm plantation was very different from other sites.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The higher percentage of ground cover in the acacia plantation may have contributed to the higher numbers of understorey beetles when compared with the oilpalmplantation.
From theCambridge English Corpus
It is not surprising that beetle species richness and abundance were lowest in the oilpalmplantation(significant in flight interception trap samples) compared with the acacia plantation.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The populations mainly work in rubber plantation,palmplantation, and a few opened grocery stores.
