- W2713118980 abstract "The conservation of tropical rainforest biodiversity is a pressing issue, due to the rapid rate of deforestation. Secondary forests may provide a useful alternative to old growth forests, as they often contain a substantial proportion of the original biodiversity. In this study, we investigate species richness, density and composition of ants and termites in six forest sites in Singapore, each differing in habitat isolation and land-use history. The six sites include an old growth forest, a selectively logged old growth forest, and four secondary forests: either located on abandoned agricultural lands or in abandoned villages, and either isolated or adjacent to old growth forests. We found that the old growth forest had significantly higher species density of ants and termites than any other site. Rarefaction curves showed that ant and termite species richness were highest in the old growth forest followed by the selectively logged forest albeit these results were not significantly different from other sites. Ant species composition changed along a gradient of fragment isolation. Termite community composition in the old growth forest shared a higher proportion of species with the adjacent secondary forest, than with the selectively logged old growth forest, suggesting that the species pool of adjacent habitats is important for species re-colonisation of regenerating habitats. Our results suggest, albeit without replications, that secondary forests differ in conservation value and that disturbed habitats in continuous forest fragments recover more rapidly than isolated ones. Further, we emphasise the importance of old growth forest fragments within man-made ecosystems as sources of original biodiversity." @default.
