A preliminary study of odonate fauna in the high ranges of Munnar, southern Western Ghats, India
A study was conducted at Munnar Forest Division Idukki District, Kerala, the southern Western Ghats, to assess the diversity of odonates. Around 44 species of odonates, which include 29 species of Anisoptera (dragonflies) and 15 species of Zygoptera (damselflies). The odonate diversity of Munnar Forest Division accounted for 24.72 % of the odonates in Kerala and 22.45 % of the odonates of the Western Ghats. The study highlights the importance of biodiversity documentation at high altitudes in the Western Ghats.
