Diversity And Distribution Of Trichoptera (INSECTA) Larvae In Selected Rivers Of Royal Belum State Park, Gerik, Perak With References To Habitat Preference And Diel Periodicity

A relatively rich community of immature Trichoptera (8624) from 16 families and 27 genera were collected from four rivers; Kejar, Mes, Tan Hain and Ruok, in Royal Belum State Park, Perak, Malaysia. Trichopteran assemblages were diverse (I-D = 0.83 - 0.85) but unevenly scattered in all rivers (E1/D,...
