Diversity, Distribution and Ecological Role of Beetles in Different Habitats of Bilaspur Region, Chhattisgarh

Abstract Abstract
Beetles (Order: Coleoptera) constitute the largest order of insects, exhibiting remarkable diversity across terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. The Bilaspur region of Chhattisgarh, situated in central India, encompasses a mosaic of tropical deciduous forests, agricultural fields, urban green spaces, and riparian zones that support diverse beetle assemblages. This paper reviews the diversity, habitat-wise distribution, and ecological significance of beetles across different habitats of the Bilaspur region. A total of 15 beetle families comprising over 85 species were documented from four major habitat types: deciduous forests, agricultural croplands, urban/peri-urban areas, and wetland/riparian habitats. Scarabaeidae emerged as the most species-rich family, followed by Chrysomelidae, Cerambycidae, and Coccinellidae. Shannon Wiener Diversity Index values ranged from 2.18 to 3.42 across habitats, with forest ecosystems exhibiting the highest diversity and agricultural monocultures the lowest. Beetles play critical ecological roles as decomposers, pollinators, predators of agricultural pests, and bioindicators of habitat quality. This study underscores the need for systematic conservation efforts to protect beetle biodiversity in the rapidly developing Bilaspur landscape.
