[Abstract]

　To analyze the effects of forest destruction and fragmentation, vegetation habitat size, food abundance, etc. on the community structure, we have studied the species diversity and dynamics of dung beetle, birds, bats, squirrels, and ground dweller mammals in several different types of habitats in Malay Peninsula. Dung beetle community was variable in relation to the distance form the forest edge. Avian community was different in composition in two habitats with different degree of pertubation. The size and habitat use of 4 squirrels species were estimated by using radio-tracking. Bat community was studied by mist-nets. Two species of megachiropteran bats with different ecological traits were detected. Mammal community was studied in relation to frugivory by using automatic cameras.
