Diversity Indices of epiphytic rotifers of a floodplain

Present study was conducted to determine the diversity of epiphytic rotifers of a floodplain, using diversity indices. Epiphytic rotifers were collected from January 2012 to June 2012. This study registered 12 genera and 33 rotifer species. Shannon-Weaver diversity index (H) showed high species diversity of epiphytic rotifers of floodplain. These results were supported by Simpson index of dominance, Simpson Index of diversity and Simpson reciprocal index. The species evenness was 0.9889 which indicated their even distribution. Species richness was 2.9139 that showed larger food chains.
