A biodiversity hotspot is a biogeographic region with significant levels of biodiversity that is threatened by human habitation. India is considered a mega diversity hotspot because of the large diversity of organism found here ranging from eastern to western ghats and North and South India too. Mainly western ghats are at high risk now
If rat tailed maggots and great beetle were wiped out then they would be two much of the predators and prey then the whole population would be wiped out completely and the food chain would be destroyed if there were all wiped out.
I would say these would be transform boundaries where the tectonic energy appears to be transformed from one plate to another such as off the coast of Guatemala so it is not a simple process of subduction,.
