The analysis of the relationship of the species and
climatic factors was carried out by CCA. The first, second,
and third axis had an eigenvalue of 0.083, 0.76, and 0.045,
respectively. Thus, the first and second axis was used for
predicting the correlation between species specific and
climate factors. The ordination analysis of the species
specific - climatic dataset showed that the three factors used
are not good predictors of change in an ant community within
these two rubber plantation types (Monte Carlo
