2. The species diversity was ranged from 1.52 to 3.87; species richness was from 1.24 to 4.09 and species evenness from 0.71 to 0.96. The maximum diversity was recorded in Station II and minimum in I. As observed in the conventional indices, the values of taxonomic and phylogenetic diversity were also more in Station II compared to Stations I and III. KDominance curve drawn paralleled the trend of diversity indices. Cluster and MDS showed the similarity in faunal composition stations within the zones.
