Diversity Of Hymenoptera In Jai Narain Vyas University, New Campus, Jodhpur, Rajasthan
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study examines the diversity of Hymenoptera in Jai Narain Vyas University new campus in Jodhpur, Rajasthan. Analyse their distribution and abundance in different microhabitats. Survey runed over a ten-month period from September 2022 to June 2023. Total 15 species from6 different families (Apidae, Formicidae, Sphecidae, Braconidae, Vespidae, Ichneumonidae) were recorded. The results showed that the diversity of species had different microhabitats, with the highest diversity found in gardens and trees. The results of this study are important for understanding the bee diversity of JNVU and suggesting conservation and management strategies to preserve the rich biodiversity of the region.
