| Popis: | A survey on termite species composition was conducted in Samunsam Wildlife Sanctuary, Sarawak in February 2015. Overall 19 species of termite belonging to 13 genera and 8 subfamilies was found in the sanctuary. It was recorded the subfamily of Termitinae had the highest number of species (6 species, equal to 31.58% of total species), followed by Nasutermitinae (3 species, 15.79%), Macrotermitinae, Amitermitinae, Rhinotermitinae, Coptotermitinae, (2 species, 10.53% respectively), and Heterotermitinae, Termitogetoninae (1 species, 5.26% respectively). Since this rapid survey is the first termite assemblage representation in Samunsam Wildlife Sanctuary, the preliminary result may serve as the baseline data for termite composition in the area. Therefore, a whole coverage for the area within this sanctuary would definitely increase the number of termite species found in the sanctuary.Kajian mengenai komposisi spesis anai-anai telah dijalankan di Pusat Perlindungan Hidupan Liar Samunsam, Sarawak pada 2015. Penilaian ini telah dijalankan bermula dari 7 sehingga 13 Februari 2015. Hasil kajian telah menemukan 19 spesis yang terdiri daripada 19 genera dan 8 subkeluarga di Pusat Hidupan Liar Samunsam. Subkeluarga Termitinae telah direkodkan mempunyai jumlah spesis yang tertinggi (6 spesis, bersamaan 31.58% daripada jumlah spesis), diikuti oleh Nasutermitinae (3 spesis, 15.79%), Macrotermitinae, Amitermitinae, Rhinotermitinae, Coptotermitinae (2 spesis, 10.53% masing-masing), dan Heterotermitinae, Termitogetoninae (1 spesis, 5.26% masing-masing). Kajian yang lengkap dan tempoh masa yang lebih panjang di kawasan ini akan pasti dapat menemukan lebih banyak komposisi spesis di pusat perlindungan hidupan liar ini. |
