Malaysia is one of the largest palm oil-producing countries in world. Located Southeast Asia region, this country also known as mega biodiversity-rich which contains numerous species. In study, arthropods were sampled using sticky traps at three sites within an oil dominated landscape. We examined how vegetation structure affects arthropod community distribution plantation. The number species was significantly greater higher complexity structures. findings showed that had been recorded for nearly reached asymptote.
