Abstract
Analisis kandungan perut lima spesies katak yang biasa dijumpai di kawasan
terganggu , iaitu Duttaphrynus melanostictus (Schneider, 1799), Polypedates
leucomystax (Gravenhorst, 1829), Microhyla heymonsi (Vogt, 1911), Microhyla
butleri (Boulenger, 1900) dan Microhyla fissipes (Boulenger, 1884), telah dijalankan
dari Oktober 2012 hingga Mac 2013. Sebanyak 387 spesimen telah dikumpulkan dari
dua belas terganggu kawasan di utara Semenanjung Malaysia, yang terdiri daripada
120 ekor D. melanostictus, 86 ekor M. butleri, 77 ekor M. fissipes, 53 ekor M.
heymonsi dan 51 ekor P. leucomystax. Sebanyak 42 kumpulan mangsa telah dikenal
pasti (sekurang-kurangnya ke tahap famili), dengan 14 kumpulan mangsa yang juga
ditemui dalam persekitaran kawasan kajian dengan menggunakan perangkap pelekat.
Analyses of stomach contents of five species of commonly found disturbed
area frogs, namely Duttaphrynus melanostictus (Schneider, 1799), Polypedates
leucomystax (Gravenhorst, 1829), Microhyla heymonsi (Vogt, 1911), Microhyla
butleri (Boulenger, 1900) and Microhyla fissipes (Boulenger, 1884), were carried out
from October 2012 until March 2013. A total of 387 specimens were collected from
twelve disturbed areas in northern Peninsular Malaysia, consisting of 120 individuals
of D. melanostictus, 86 M. butleri, 77 M. fissipes, 53 M. heymonsi and 51 P.
leucomystax. A total of 42 prey groups were identified (at least to family level), with
14 of the prey groups also found in the environment using glue traps. Platygasteridae,
Formicidae and Araneae were present in the diets of all five anuran species.
