Abstract:

The hypothesis is that the more developed a region is, the less beetles of less varied kinds will there be. If this hypothesis were to be true, beetles are supported to be used as bioindicators, which is one of the best ways to test pollutions-a serious modern environmental concern that has been proven to be involved in the development of many human diseases.
