A Comparative Study On The Hymenopteran Diversity With Special Reference To Ants In Thommankuth Forest And Adjacent Areas Of Idukki District In Western Ghats.
A comparative study on the hymenopteran diversity with special reference to ants in Thommankuth forest and adjacent areas was carried out for a period of six months from December 2014 to May 2015. The study held in Thommankuth forest and adjacent areas resulted in identifying 19 ant species. They belonged to one family named Formicidae and four subfamilies such as Formicinae, Myrmicinae, Ponerinae and Dolichoridinae. Out of the total 19 species observed, three species found only in forested areas, whereas four species found only in agricultural area. However 11 species were observed from both the habitats. According to Shannon Weiner diversity index agricultural ecosystem is more diverse (1.04412) than forest ecosystem (1.02115). The study reveals that Thommankuth forest and adjacent areas in the Western Ghats is an excellent habitat for Hymenopteran especially ants.
