Abstract
This article examines the distribution of the entomofauna of the tugai (riparian) forests of Khorazm region across the main biotopes – forested, shrub, and meadow habitats. Field surveys carried out at three study sites – the Amudarya riverside zone, the Shavat tugai plot, and the zone near Urganch – recorded a total of 19 insect species, whose occurrence across biotopes proved uneven. The forested biotope held the largest share of species (57.9 %), attributed to the density of vegetation cover and a stable moisture regime. The shrub (26.3 %) and meadow (15.8 %) biotopes, though less species-rich, retain ecologically distinct insect assemblages. The findings are of practical value for assessing the biological diversity of tugai ecosystems and for designing conservation measures.
A field survey in Bornadi Wildlife Sanctuary documented 47 lycaenid butterfly species across six subfamilies, predominantly Polyommatinae (27 species). Habitat evaluations demonstrated that woodlands supported the highest species richness (35 taxa) and diversity (Shannon-Wiener index, H´ = 3.055), whereas grasslands ex...

Nardostachys jatamansi, a high-altitude medicinal herb (Valerianaceae), remains ecologically understudied in Bhutan. This study assessed its phytosociology, habitat, morphometry, biomass, and threats across 3,500–5,000 m in Lingzhi, western Bhutan. Density and Importance Value Index increased significantly with altitud...

Phytosociological analysis is one of the best methods for the assessment and documentation of the present status of grasses in the light of rapid extinction of native species. A total of 36 grass species belonging to Poaceae family with highest importance value index (IVI) of Apluda mutica (49.27) as dominant followed...

Abstract Habitat loss and anthropogenic fragmentation significantly alter plant distribution and abundance. The endemic palm Butia yatay (Mart.) Becc. is a flagship species in the South American Chaco and the limited information on its diminishing distribution area has encouraged us to develop methods to quantify its d...

The Indo-Gangetic Plain is a vital yet often overlooked region for the diversity of pteridophytes in northern India. This study provides a comprehensive catalogue of pteridophyte species in Kaushambi district, Uttar Pradesh, and analyses their distribution patterns, habitat preferences, and conservation status. During...

An assessment of floristic diversity was conducted at Chittorgarh Fort, to examine the floral diversity. The survey was carried out during the month of March 2026 and was focused on wild plant species rather than ornamental plant species which are found in huge amount in the temples, palaces, and historical museums and...
