Title Of Article :
Seasonal abundance and diversity of some pit building antlions larvae (Neuroptera: Myrmeleontidae)
Abstract :
The paper discusses the seasonal variations and species diversity of antlions (Neuroptera:Myrmeleontidae) in the Amanos Mountains during May, 2015 to October, 2016. The insect including antlions may play a role as bio indicator to characterize the global warming. Like other organisms, insects are also under the influence of climate change. The present investigation in among preliminary steps to identify insects adapted to survive in dry season and some environmental factors (temperature, humidity, sunlight, soil, wind) impacting their presence and abundance. Possible seasonal causes of fluctuations in their abundances have been discussed. A possible interaction between abiotic factors and the abundance of antlions (pit fall trap) is proposed.
