Guild structure of stored grain insects reflects food resource availability in tropical forest ecosystems

The Guild concept has been of great interest to ecologists, and widely applied in entomology, particularly study the activity insects various ecosystems. However, guild storage entomology is understudied. We hypothesized that feeding structure stored grain insect (SGI) community changes with different food resources available. In present study, we examined tribal system. Further, established a classification system for species based on their resource exploitation pattern role associated factors involved spatial temporal SGI community. richness showed cereal feeder was dominated system, abundance varied greatly, high number pulse feeders reflect availability resources. it shows non-significant association among each at altitudes area from guilds were randomly distributed, however, congregated more preferred sources.
