ABE, Takuya (Dep. Biol., Sci. & Eng. Div., Univ. Ryukyus, Naha) & MATSUMOTO, Tadao (Dep. Biol., Fac. Sci., Tokyo Metropolitan Univ., Tokyo). 1979. Studies on the distribution and ecological role of termites in a lowland rain forest of West Malaysia (3) Distribution and abundance of termites in Pasoh Forest Reserve. Jap. J. Ecol., 29 : 337-351. The distribution and abundance of termites were studied in a lowland rain forest (Pasoh Forest Reserve) of West Malaysia. Fifty-two species were found in a 1-ha plot, 14 species in a 16 m^2 area and 10 species in a 2 m^2 area. Density and biomass of the entire termite population were estimated at 3000-4000/m^2 and 2.2-2.6 g. d.w./m^2 respectively. Dominant termites were Macrotermes malaccensis, M. carbonarius and Dicuspiditermes nemorosus. More than half of the entire termites (in biomass) cultivated fungi in their nests. Termites occupied all strata of the forest from the height of more than 30 m on and in the standing trees down to the depth of 30 cm in the soil. Termites living deeper in the soil than 30 cm are very scarce. Termites making subterranean and intermediate nests shared about two thirds of the total termite population in the number of species, density and biomass. Mound builders are not predominant, though they are important termites. The populations of arboreal nest making termites were low. The termites occupied an overwhelmingly dominant position among soil macrofauna in Pasoh Forest.
