Abstract Desert ecosystems though crucial in shaping global climate, are often perceived to have limited function and frequently designated as wastelands due low biotic diversity abundance. We explore the functional properties of desert through assessment spatio-temporal variations avian species richness insect abundance relatively understudied Thar Rajasthan. The study was conducted across four contrasting ecoregions (Western (WT), Eastern (ET), Transitional Zone (TZ), Cultivated (CZ)...
This paper reports a new addition to the national bumblebee fauna of Indian Himalayas.The newly recorded species viz., Bombus cryptarum (Fabricius, 1775) (Hymenoptera, Apidae) is fully described from Gurez Valley (Jammu and Kashmir) Panamik (Ladakh) in Western Himalayan range.Males B. have thoracic dorsum T2 lemon yellow without black hairs.Gonostylus with anterior apical process long hairs penis valve greatly broadened flared outwards.With record, region now represented by 57 bumblebees.The...
The study was conducted from 2018 to 2020 explore the distributional records of hymenopteran fauna various localities Purna Wildlife Sanctuary, Dang, Gujarat. about 13 species Hymenoptera (Apoidea) are provided covering 3 families and distributed over 07 genera, which being reported for first time Sanctuary. include representatives Apidae, Megachilidae Halictidae seven genera viz. Amegilla, Apis, Euaspis, Xylocopa, Nomia, Megachile Pseudapis.
Purna Wildlife Sanctuary is located in the Sahyadri range Dang District of Gujarat State. A survey sanctuary was conducted to explore moth fauna from area, as no previous work available on this group. Thus, an attempt has been made study based collections April 2019 March 2021 under various ranges sanctuary. During study, a list 42 species referable 39 genera and nine families have provided.
The present work incorporates new distributional records of the genus Bombus (Hymenoptera: Apoidea) from Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve (NDBR) Western Himalaya covering some major habitats/localities. A total nine species were collected viz. B. albopleuralis, asiaticus, festivus, jacobsoni, keriensis, melanurus, rufofasciatus, simillimus and tunicatus distributed over five subgenera with elevation ranging 2500-3500 masl. Out was already recorded study area (Gupta, 1997). remaining eight...
