Abstract
Understanding the diversity and composition of two forest corridors will provide invaluable information on the suitability of the proposed wildlife corridor. Ants were used as bioindicator to determine to health status Bukit Belata and Bukit Tunggal Forest Reserves. Sampling were done using pitfall traps and leaf litter sifting along a 500m line transect. A total of 35 species of ants belonging to 15 genera and 4 subfamilies were collected. Bukit Belata FR yielded higher number of species compared to Bukit Tunggal FR. However, the species composition in Bukit Tunggal comprised mainly forest specialist species instead of generalist species in Bukit Belata.
