The studies involving water bugs (Hemiptera) biodiversity and ecology are very few and have mainly focused on taxonomy. We conducted research and evaluation of diversity indexes of water bugs (Hemiptera) in different landscapes including forest habitats, agricultural lands, ponds, streams from 16 sampling sites in Bac Kan, Lao Cai, Ninh Binh and Ha Tinh provinces. As a result, a total of 43 species of 23 genera of 10 families were recorded. | ACADEMIA JOURNAL OF BIOLOGY 2023 45 3 111 124 DOI 2615-9023 18621 DIVERSITY OF WATER BUGS HEMIPTERA OVER DIFFERENT LANDSCAPES IN SOME PROVINCES OF NORTHERN VIETNAM Phan Thi Giang1 2 Nguyen Quang Cuong3 Nguyen Thanh Manh3 Nguyen Thi Hanh3 Nguyen Thi Thanh4 Truong Xuan Lam1 3 1 Graduate University of Science and Technology Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology 18 Hoang Quoc Viet Ha Noi Vietnam 2 Vinh University 182 Le Duan Vinh Nghe An Vietnam 3 Institute of Ecology and Biological Resources Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology 18 Hoang Quoc Viet Ha Noi Vietnam 4 Indochina Institute of Biological and Environmental Sciences Ha Noi Vietnam Received 4 August 2023 accepted 25 September 2023 ABSTRACT The studies involving water bugs Hemiptera biodiversity and ecology are very few and have mainly focused on taxonomy. We conducted research and evaluation of diversity indexes of water bugs Hemiptera in different landscapes including forest habitats agricultural lands ponds streams from 16 sampling sites in Bac Kan Lao Cai Ninh Binh and Ha Tinh provinces. As a result a total of 43 species of 23 genera of 10 families were recorded. The Shannon index H the Simpson index 1-D the Berger-Parker index of dominance the Margalef index and the Fisher alpha index did not differ much between study sites. The evenness of water bugs Hemiptera was divided into 4 different main groups for 16 sampling sites. The Shannon index H Simpson 1-D index species richness and individual rarefaction in forest habitats are higher than in agricultural land. However the species richness was no different in ponds and streams. Keywords Water bugs Hemiptera diversity index forest agricultural lands pond stream.
