NEPENTHES DIVERSITY AND ABUNDANCE IN FIVE HABITATS IN BRUNEI DARUSSALAM
ABSTRACT: The genus Nepenthes
is known to be diverse in Bornean forests and has been recorded in Brunei
Darussalam in various forest types. We aim to investigate variation in
Nepenthes species richness and abundance at five forest types throughout Brunei
Darussalam: open secondary, heath, peat swamp, white sand and mixed dipterocarp
forests. A total of thirty-nine 5 × 5 m 2 plots were set up in these forest
types. Within each plot, Nepenthes species abundance was quantified, with
Nepenthes voucher specimens collected and identified to determine species
richness. No significant differences were detected either for Nepenthes species
richness or abundance between the five forest types, despite records of
Nepenthes in Brunei showing preferences for particular habitat types. We suggest
that average species richness and abundance remained constant regardless of
forest types in this study, but that these results would likely change if
sampling intensity is increased in future studies.
