Early Times Report
Rajouri, Sept 2: In a significant development to Insect Taxonomy and diversity a team of Researchers - Dr. Sajad H Parey, Assistant Professor, BGSB University along with Dr M.S Pandher & Dr Simarjit Kaur from Zoological Survey of India in a joint research work described and discovered new species of caddisflies from India. This work has been published in an International Journal of repute Zootaxa Published by Magnolia Press New Zealand. As per their findings with these new species the order Trichoptera in India is now represented by about 1300 species which were earlier in 2008 only 1027 species known from India.
Sajad Hussain Parey who works as Assistant Professor in Department of Zoology, School of Biosciences and Biotechnology, BGSB University termed this as a significant discovery of caddisfly species from Indian Himalaya as four new species are described as new to science while as eight new species are first time reported from India which were earlier recorded from Thailand, Bhutan, Nepal and Myanmar.
These insects serve an important role in the aquatic ecosystem as many of the immature forms of these insecta are being used as food by fishes and other small invertebrates in the water bodies around the globe. They also act as biological indicators of water pollution & hence their presence and absence can easily tell us about the pollution status and prompt methods of taking conservation methods for stopping the further deterioration of freshwater bodies. |
