Abstract

Aquatic insect diversity of Rajaji National Park, India has been monitored for a period of twelve months. Some of the important hydrological attributes were also measured in continuity of one-month interval. Aquatic insects were sampled from two sites (S1 and S2) of the Song River of the Rajaji National Park. A significant difference in the density (t=2.86455, p
