Abstract
DIVERSITY OF COLEOPTERA IN TWO VEGETATIONAL COVERS IN PAKHAL WILD LIFE SANCTUARY, WARANGAL, TELANGANA
E. Narayana*
ABSTRACT
A survey of diversity of Coleoptera in two vegetational covers in Pakhal wildlife sanctuary, Warangal. The Coleopterons were collected by using standard trapping methods from two areas selected on the basis of their specific habitat differences and estimated that the Coleopterans were in higher abundances during the rainy season in both areas and decreased during the dried seasons and less in number during summer season. They are relatively more in number during rainy season in the natural forest area compared to the teak plantation area. The higher number of total coleopterans was recorded in June in the natural forest. The seasonal variation in the population densities of Coleoptera may be attributed to the variation in the abiotic factors. The abiotic factors would influence 65% variation in their seasonal abundance in natural forest and 30% variation in their seasonal abundance in teak plantation area. The rainfall was also favorable for increasing the population density of total Coleoptera.
