Niche differences can be considered as one of the most crucial aspects in terms of identifying a particular area’s species richness. According to the neutral theory, highly diverse species in a particular area have risen due to having a balanced chance of extinction (Ma, 2021). In this regard, it can be stated that the species richness of a particular area is mainly based on the availability of essential elements required for living for the species available in the area. This particular research has been conducted with an ideology of identifying the species richness of the selected area which can also reflect the availability of lands for the species and the availability of foods for the species available in that particular area.
