Insect diversity in the Hill Regions of Rajasthan: A review
Authors
Renu Kumari, Kanan Saxena
Abstract
Insects form the most diverse class of organisms on Earth, playing
indispensable roles in ecosystem functioning. The hill regions of Rajasthan,
though often overshadowed by the state’s dominant desert biome, represent
ecologically significant pockets that support unique insect biodiversity. These
areas, primarily located along the Aravalli hill range, include habitats such
as Mount Abu, Kumbhalgarh and Sariska, which display remarkable microclimatic
and floral variation. This review explores existing literature and field
findings on insect diversity in Rajasthan’s hill ecosystems, categorizing
observed species by order and ecological function. The paper also highlights
pressing conservation concerns, identifies research gaps, and proposes
strategies for sustainable biodiversity management in these regions.
