Occurrence of order Coleoptera among cultured soil and non- cultured soil (forest area) at Gatwala Forest Park, Faisalabad

High diversity and abundance of Coleoptera is found in cultured and non-cultured soil. A research will be conducted on the cultured soil surroundings Chak NO. 333 JB Passianwala, District Toba Tek Singh, Faisalabad (Division) and non-cultured soil (forest area) at Gatwala Forest Park, Faisalabad, Punjab Pakistan. The main objective of the study is to highlight the susceptible and non-susceptible strains of order Coleoptera in cultured and non-cultured soil. Successive sampling will be done from different areas of above mentioned localities from August 2014 to April 2015. The Coleopteran fauna inhabiting these areas will be collected by using sampling method like forceps, hand picking and netting. The collected specimens will be preserved in labeled vials having 10% Formalin, distilled water and few drops of glycerin and identified up to species level to diversify their eco-diversity. Total (9) treatments/ samplings were accomplished for Chak 333 JB and (9) for Gatwala, Park. The data recorded during whole study is presented in this chapter. After completing the research trial, total, 476 specimens were recorded and identified up to species level from these sites. Among them, pertaining to order Coleoptera, 402 (84.81%) were recorded from Chak No. 333 JB and 72 (15.19) from Gatwala, Park. Significant results were recorded in case of Order Coleoptera. In Chak 333, diversity (H') was recorded highest for the order Coleoptera (0.1005) and in Gatwala (0.0180). Diversity (maximum) (H'max) was recorded highest for the order Coleoptera (2.6042) and minimum in Gatwala (1.8573). Evenness (J) was maximam for order Coleoptera (0.0386) at Chak 333 and minimum (0.0097) for Gatwala. Dominance (D) was recorded highest for the order Coleoptera (1.0386) and minimum in Gatwala (1.0097). Richness (R) was maximum for order Coleoptera (18.6747) at Chak 333 and minimum (4.4649) for Gatwala. The relative abundance was maximum at Chak 333 JB and least at Gatwala, Forest and Park Faisalabad, Kurskal-Wallis Test pertaining to rank order of taxa composition and population density was much convincing and significant (F= 57.8; P= 0.000). These were due to shuffle the order by their density and population ranks for Kurskal-Wallis Test to attain the most convincing results.
