| Article Name : | | | Effect Of Water Pollution On Assemblage And Community Structure Of Dragonfly At Three Ecosystems Of Pune (india) | | Author Name : | | | Varsha Wankhade , Narendra Manwar and Azraj Dahihande | | Publisher : | | | Ashok Yakkaldevi | | Article Series No. : | | | GRT-1529 | | Article URL : | |  | Author Profile View PDF In browser | | Abstract : | | | The order Odonata deserves a special place in the study of ecology as it acts as a biological indicator. Dragonfly belongs to suborder Anisoptera. In this study our objectives were to explore and compare the diversity of dragonfly at three different habitats in Pune (2010-2011) Maharashtra, India and to study the habitat association in assemblage and community structure of species of dragonfly at these ecosystems. We selected three different types of ecosystems, studied the water quality of ecosystems and tried to correlate the assemblage of dragonfly species with habitat status of ecosystem. Three selected ecosystems are Pune University pond ( seasonal and nonpolluted), Mula-Mutha sangam (lotic, perenneal and polluted) and Pashan Lake (lentic, perenneal and polluted). Dragonfly at three different ecosystems were sampled and photographed. | | Keywords : | | |
