Abstract

The investigation revealed the presence of a total of 16 species of aquatic insects in Maguri Beel and Khamti Guali Beel, two freshwater ecosystems, in Assam, India. The distribution and diversity of species present in the two wetlands with an account of physico-chemical water analysis and macrophyte distribution are discussed. Variation in the diversity indices of both the wetlands, illustrated key differences in diversity and distribution of aquatic insects in Maguri and Khamti Guali Beel.
