Abstract
A study on aquatic insect diversity of Sanduba beel, Morigaon, Assam
was conducted in different sites of the beel during the month of May to August
2023. The beel is situated on the southern part of river Brahmaputra. In the
enumeration 16 species of 10 families and 5 orders was documented and among
them 8 species form 5 families belongs to the order Hemiptera and other 5
species and 2 families are from order Coleoptera. Inland waters cover less than
one percent of Earth’s surface, but anchorage more than 6% of all insect
species: nearly 100000 species from 12 orders spend one or more life stages in
freshwater. Freshwater habitats are exceptionally susceptible to environmental
change and exhibit marked ecological gradients. The amphibiotic lifestyles of
aquatic insects result in complex contributions of extinction and allopatric
and non-allopatric speciation in species diversification.
