Biodiversity, Distribution, and Population Dynamics of Entomofauna in Agroecosystems of Thoothukudi District, Tamil Nadu

Abstract

This review explores the diversity, distribution, and population dynamics of entomofauna in the agroecosystems of Thoothukudi District, Tamil Nadu. The region's unique climatic conditions and varied ecosystems, including agricultural lands, scrub jungles, and semi-arid zones, support a rich insect biodiversity. Key insect groups such as pollinators, predators, and pests play vital roles in maintaining ecological balance and agricultural productivity. Understanding their interactions and population trends is essential for developing sustainable pest management and conservation strategies.
