Abstract
The present study was coducted to assess beetle diversity in three
different sub urban sites of Morigaon district, Assam, India. Morigaon district
is an agrcultural based district, which attracts many insects and make the
places rich in biodiversity. The study sites were agricultural sites, wet lands
and sub town area. In the study 23different species of beetles were collected
and identified belonging to 10 families in the three study sites. The result of
Shannon – Wiener diversity index shows a moderate diversity of beetles. On the
other hand, the value of Simpson’s index indicates a significant diversity of
beetle in the study area. Simpson’s dominance index shows minimum or no
dominance of some of particular species of beetle. Whereas, Simpson’s
reciprocal index shows a moderate evenness and richness of beetles in the study
site.
