Abstract
In order to understand
the current status of beetles (Coleoptera) in two different ecosystems, i.e.,
Pauri Gaon (including unprotected forests and vegetable gardens) and Kandoliya
Road (a dense forest of oak and pine) in Pauri city of Garhwal, Uttarakhand a
study was conducted from October 2019 to May 2020. The present study deals with
the record of a total of 17 species of beetles, which belong to 2 families and
17 genera. The coccinellidae was the dominant family among the two, with 14
species, and the chrysomelidae had 3 species. Maximum numbers of beetles were
recorded in Pauri Gaon as compared to the Kandoliya of district Pauri Garhwal,
Uttarakhand. Climatic variables significantly influenced the beetle community,
as higher species, abundance, and availability were recorded in the summer
season, followed by rainy and winter, respectively.
