An Assessment of Insect Diversity in Different Habitats Of Raipur, Chhattisgarh
Abstract
The study aims to assess the insect diversity in different habitats of Raipur, Chhattisgarh. The researchers collected specimens of insects from various locations, including villages with kharif and Rabi crops, as well as urban areas with abundant flora and fauna. The availability of diverse flora and fauna in these habitats provides a suitable environment for the survival of different insect species. The collected specimens were either preserved in vials with 70% alcohol or killed in killing bottles for further analysis and identification. This study is crucial as it will not only help in understanding the diversity of insects in Raipur but also contribute to the conservation of biodiversity in this area and aid in further research efforts. The researchers conducted a study on insect diversity in Raipur, Chhattisgarh to assess the impact of different habitats on the abundance and variety of insect species. They collected specimens from villages with kharif and Rabi crops, as well as urban areas with diverse flora and fauna. The collected specimens were preserved and analyzed to determine the diversity of insect species in each habitat. The study is significant as it provides valuable information on the insect diversity in Raipur and its impact on the overall biodiversity of the region. An assessment of insect diversity in different habitats of Raipur, Chhattisgarh was conducted to understand the impact of these habitats on the abundance and variety of insect species. The study focused on collecting specimens from villages with kharif and Rabi crops, as well as urban areas with diverse flora and fauna. The researchers preserved the collected specimens and analyzed them to assess the insect diversity in each habitat. The study is important as it provides insights into the biodiversity of insects in Raipur and highlights the role of different habitats in supporting insect populations. The researchers aimed to assess the insect diversity in different habitats of Raipur, Chhattisgarh.
