Abstract
Abundance of Hydradephagan beetles in relation to site vegetation variability was studied from hundred water bodies of Kancheepuram district, Tamil Nadu, India. Protected sites with reduced slope, reduced wave exposure and increased vegetation affects the lake littoral invertebrates. The exposed sites without vegetation probably offer an excellent hunting ground for the various predators, because of this fact; some of the species are totally absent in the exposed ponds. The results are treated with Spearmen’s rank correlations.
