COMPOSITION AND SEASONAL FLUCTUATIONS OF ENTOMOFAUNA FROM A HILL STREAM OF PAMBA RIVER IN THE WESTERN GHATS | UTTAR PRADESH JOURNAL OF ZOOLOGY
The aim of this study was to determine the insect population composition in a hill stream near the holy river Pamba in the Western Ghats. During the months of January to December 2019, aquatic and riparian insects were collected from the respective stream stretch, based on their existence and habits. The hill stream in the Western Ghats yielded a total of 25 insect species, divided into six orders, 14 families, and 20 genera. The healthy stream served a diverse insect culture with seasonal population fluctuations. The composition and diversity of stream-associated insects in the studied area were determined by substrate stability, stream drainage basin, physico-chemical parameters, and the surrounding vegetation.
