Insect Entrapment by Plants in Kodaikanal Wildlife Sanctuary, India

The present study focused on plant–insect interactions between arthropod insects and herbs at shola forest floor such as Desmodium uncinatum (Jacq.) DC.—Fabaceae and Cerastium indicum (L.) Wight & Arn.—Caryophyllaceae. The morphological characters such as ciliate, puberulous and villous nature o...

Summary:The present study focused on plant–insect interactions between arthropod insects and herbs at shola forest floor such as Desmodium uncinatum (Jacq.) DC.—Fabaceae and Cerastium indicum (L.) Wight & Arn.—Caryophyllaceae. The morphological characters such as ciliate, puberulous and villous nature of plants will lead a greater role to adopt the climatic conditions. Findings of the present study revealed the trichomes of some plants are menace to pollinating agents.
