Descriptif
Eastern area of Rajasthan with its varied geographic, climatic, and ecological features exhibits a rich assemblage of different types of spiders’ species. However, no studies on their diversity have ever been undertaken here ; with the result that many of the spider species still remain unnamed and unrecorded. Further, environmental pollution and deforestation have led many spider species to the verge of extinction. Hence the present work is conducted with a goal to find the objectives envisaged in the proposal mentioned below. 1. Survey of different sites of the Eastern Region of Rajasthan for spiders and their identification. 2. Preparation of inventory of spiders of Eastern Region of Rajasthan. 3. To study the seasonal abundance of spiders. Introduction 7 4. Calculation of α and β diversity and diversity index. 5. Study of web pattern and architecture of different species of spiders.
