Background: Few studies have investigated the chemical, morphological and physiological foliar traits and the intensity of standing folivory in a representative set of species of tropical rainforests including species of different successional stages. Aims: (i) To quantify leaf elemental composition, leaf phenolics and tannin concentrations, physical leaf traits and the intensity of standing folivory in a representative set of species of different successional stages in a Bornean tropical rainforest, and (ii) to investigate the relationships among leaf traits and between leaf traits and accumulated standing folivory. Methods: Analyses of leaf elemental concentrations, phenolics (Ph) and tannin (Tan) concentrations, leaf mass area (LMA), C assimilation rate and accumulated standing folivory in 88 common rainforest species of Borneo. Results and Conclusions: Accumulated standing folivory was correlated with the scores of the first axis of the elemental concentrations principal component analysis (mainly loaded by K and C:K and N:K ratios) with lower accumulated standing folivory at high leaf K concentrations (R = –0.33, P = 0.0016). The results show that consistent with growth rate hypothesis, fast-growing pioneer species have lower leaf N:P ratios than late-successional species, that species with higher leaf N concentration have lower LMA according with the ‘leaf economics spectrum’ hypothesis, and that species with lower leaf nutrient concentration allocate more C to leaf phenolics. This study also shows that species with different ecological roles have different biogeochemical ‘niches’ assessed as foliar elemental composition.

Butterfly (Lepidoptera: Rhophalocera) diversity in Bukit Soga, the green lung of Batu Pahat, Malaysia

Aqilah Awg Abdul Rahman; Maryati Mohamed; Alona Cuevas Linatoc

To accommodate for increase in human population, development of cities and urban areas is necessary. This call for changes in land use. The transition from natural to build environment has affected the natural landscape in many ways; one of which is pollution. Consequently, the native biodiversity within the urban landscape is stressed to maintain an optimum level of ecosystem service in order to sustain ecological integrity. This is where the urban green lung plays its role; to provide for carbon sequestration, oxygen generation, acting as filters to noise and dust, and offers aesthetical values. The study area, Bukit Soga Perdana Recreational Forest is a well–known green lung of Batu Pahat, Johor; the second largest industrial town in Johor. This paper aims to study the biodiversity of butterflies in Bukit Soga and discusses its impact on the urban ecological landscape. Species abundance and habitat characterization based on plant nativity, canopy and vegetation coverage, and disturbance type analysis such as human pressure, were studied. Collection resulted in 43 species of butterflies. Total abundance was 88 individuals, sampled throughout Dec to June 2017. Majority are primary forest species that requires adequate canopy coverage. As for plants, in Bukit Soga most are native with exception to the herbs garden. Surprisingly, habitat disturbance such as human movement does not affect the spatial distribution of primary or secondary forest butterfly species. However, their distribution is largely affected by canopy coverage, as it should be. This suggests that despite the growing recreational activities in Bukit Soga, this urban green lung still play an important role in maintaining the ecological integrity in Batu Pahat.To accommodate for increase in human population, development of cities and urban areas is necessary.

Muhammad Murtala Mainasara; Mohd Fadzelly Abu Bakar; Maryati Mohamed; Alona Cuevas Linatoc; Fatimah Sabran

Abstract Annona squamosa (the sugar apple) is a member of family Annonaceae that is local to the tropical America and broadly developed for its sweet-smelling, succulent, and tasteful fruit, which have more vitamin C than an orange. The sugar apple is the most developed tropical fruit in the family.
