Marine invertebrates especially bivalve and gastropod are major organisms inhabit coastal areas. These marine organisms are also known as detritivores which filter sea bed component for food. The location of Peninsular Malaysia that surrounded by the sea such as Malacca Straits at the west coast and South China Sea at the east coast provide a good distribution for bivalve and gastropod. A study on distribution of bivalve and gastropod had been conducted at different coastal area which represent east and west coast. The studies areas are Pengkalan Balak, Melaka, Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan, Tanjung Tuan, Negeri Sembilan, Telok Gong, Melaka and Penyabong, Johor. This study aims to identify bivalve and molluscs species at the study area. Beside to determine the diverse site of the species. West coast coastal line (Pengkalan Balak and Port Dickson) recorded the highest number of species compare than east coast coastal line (Mersing). Low species number of Bivalve and Molluscs are caused by the sandy coastline at the area which are not suitable for habitation. Furthermore, strong wave prevents the formation of muddy shoreline which unsuits for habitation. Thus, it is suggested that this study need to be extensively conducted in order to documents the species of bivalve and gastropod.

Rodent and birds are the common hosts for parasites especially blood parasites and the important vectors in carrying diseases. Some of the parasites that carried by these rodents and birds that had significant importance such as triggering diseases are Babesia sp., Hepatozoon sp. and Trypanosoma sp. The study was carried out in a lake located in Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia campus. The rodents were trapped by using cage trap and baited with palm oil seed. Birds were captured using mist nets. The blood was extracted from the tail of trapped rodents and birds. Many thin layers of blood smears were obtained and brought for examination. The study reveals the presence of several blood parasites that commonly found in rodents that can be observed under microscopic observation. The findings show that the intensive documentation should be conducted for better campus landscape management.

Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM) had developed and covered in green areas during recent years as it covers around 40% of its total campus area. The green area began to evolves and develops their richness in biodiversity as the the composition, structure and function started to shape as an early secondary forest stands that led the community to find a sustainable lifestyle. In this research, two sampling methods, Direct Observation and Passive Sampling, were used to survey the flora and fauna. High numbers of animals, including some mammals, birds and some fauna, have been collected. These results highlight the potential for green areas to be built on the university campus as forests. This research therefore shows that the development of forests in USIM was achievable as ecological value can be used for nurturing future generations in the practice of sustainable lifestyle.

A species complex exists in all groups of organisms where two or more organisms that are closely related have similar appearance and are not completely differentiated between one another because of the lack of evidence and data. The latest discovery of a new species of tree frogs, Polypedates discantus in Thailand proves that further research is needed to uncover and unveil certain species complex under Polypedates leucomystax. This would ultimately avoid local and global species diversity from being underestimated. The aim of this study was to determine whether Polypedates discantus of peninsular Malaysia can be separated from Polypedates leucomystax of Malay Clade by using morphometric analysis. Samples of adults Polypedates leucomystax were collected from several locations in peninsular Malaysia particularly Perak, Kelantan and Pahang. The samples were then preserved in 70% ethanol solution and its morphological measurements were measured using a vernier caliper. Data collected is analyzed using PAST analysis software version 3.25 where it undergoes data confirmation, multivariate analysis and species conformation according to the discriminant function analysis chart given. The expected results of this finding will produce different clusters between the two species population of Perak, Kelantan and Pahang. Thus drawing a dividing line between the two species which will have a huge impact on conservation biology.
