Abstract |
|
The objectives of the present study were to explore
the diversity and abundance of spider fauna at
different habitats. The study was conducted at
different places of University of Pune, Pune, MS
India. In this study we observed the diversity of
Spiders (Class Insecta, phylum Arthopoda) and
efforts were made to evaluate the status of
ecosystems in University of Pune. In total 32
species of spiders belonging to 7 families were
observed. Thus family Araneidae was the most
dominant family exploring 35% of species. The high
species diversity of spiders in University of Pune
can be attributed to the high diversity of plants
and insects. This could be an important centre of
speciation Pune region.
Keywords:
University of Pune, diversity and abundance,
spiders, araneidae, families.
