Arthropoda is the largest phylum in the animal kingdom which includes more than 80% of all known living species. Arthropods having segmented body with chitinous exoskeleton and jointed limbs. They vary in a various shapes and sizes, including insects, spiders, crabs, lobsters, mites, scorpions, centipedes, and millipedes. Myriapods played pivotal role in studying evolutionary relationships. Arthropods can be advantageous to people in addition to playing critical functions in the upkeep of the ecosystem. Arthropods can be advantageous to people in addition to playing critical functions in the upkeep of the ecosystem. For instance, a variety of insects help pollinate plants, create beneficial compounds, manage pests, and provide food for both humans and other animals. Others are scavengers or decomposers; they break down dead plants and animals and turn them into soil nutrients. Examples of these organisms include mites, isopods, myriapods, and insects. Due to their high human consumption, several crustacean species—including shrimp, crayfish, lobsters, and crabs—are intensively farmed for food on a commercial basis. On the other hand, some crayfish and insects are extremely invasive species that pose a major danger to biodiversity globally and call for stringent management measures. Some are hematophagous, which function as pests of stored goods and cultivated plants.
KEYWORDS
The ecological diversity varies across the seasons, with Summer generally having higher species richness and diversity, while Winter tends to have higher dominance and abundance. Monsoon shows intermediate values for many indices. It's important to consider multiple indices to get a comprehensive understanding of community structure and diversity.
