Abstract

This research aims to investigate the species richness and the distribution of aquatic insects in Nam Oun Reservoir between November 2013 to October 2014. There were 4 orders with 8 families; families Dytiscidae, Baetiscidae, Belostomatidae, Hydrometridae, Nepidae, Coenagrionidae, Gomphidae and Libellulidae. The abundance of aquatic insects was average 100.94 ± 108.01 insect / square meter. The richness and the biodiversity were average 4.27 ± 1.53 and 0.94 ± 0.25, respectively. The abundance and the species richness of aquatic insects in surveying time were significant difference (P < 0.05). The principal component analysis on the species aquatic insects’ distribution in each area and season was found that the distribution divided into 2 clusters as follows; Cluster 1 was the aquatic insects distributed in winter season which were water beetles (DYSP), small water bugs (BESP), water striders (GESP), and damselfly larvae (ARSP). The abundance and distribution were in the similar direction. Cluster 2 was aquatic insects distributed in hot season in station 5 such as dragonfly larvae (LISP), dragon fly larvae (HASP), Hemiptera (RASP) and Ephemeroptera (EPSP). The distribution and the abundance were spread in the similar direction related to the richness, the biodiversity, water temperature and dissolved oxygen.
