Abstract Aims This study aimed to isolate plant growth and drought tolerance-promoting bacteria from the nutrient-poor rhizosphere soil of Thar desert plants unravel their molecular mechanisms promotion. Methods results Among our rhizobacterial isolates, Enterobacter cloacae C1P-IITJ, Kalamiella piersonii J4-IITJ, Peribacillus frigoritolerans T7-IITJ, significantly enhanced root shoot (4˗5-fold) in Arabidopsis thaliana under PEG-induced stress. Whole genome sequencing biochemical analyses...
Mycelial culture of Pleurotus florida produced highest extracellular laccase in optimum growth medium. At least two laccases (L(inf1) and L(inf2)) were shown to be present the filtrate. Low-laccase-yielding mutants with impaired L(inf2) activity had poor mycelial could not form fruit body, whereas revertants from same similar parent body formation.
Abstract Desert ecosystems though crucial in shaping global climate, are often perceived to have limited function and frequently designated as wastelands due low biotic diversity abundance. We explore the functional properties of desert through assessment spatio-temporal variations avian species richness insect abundance relatively understudied Thar Rajasthan. The study was conducted across four contrasting ecoregions (Western (WT), Eastern (ET), Transitional Zone (TZ), Cultivated (CZ)...
The length weight relationships (LWRs) of six tropical fish species from Chilika Lagoon, India were studied. Specimens caught using a wide range fishing gear operated in the lagoon January to December 2014. fresh specimens measured for total and weight, then dissected sex confirmed. Previously unavailable FishBase, detailed LWRs Daysciaena albida, Eleutheronema tetradactylum, Etroplus suratensis Mystus gulio are reported first time. Maximum lengths Nematalosa nasus Osteogeneiosus militaris...
Distinct ecosystems have representative biota that can allow delineation of ecoregions. Despite being one the most populated desert in world with extreme climatic conditions, Thar has been classified as a single ecoregion by WWF. The present study aimed to test this on basis biotic assessment using community science, also known citizen science or crowdsourced data from eBird (492 species birds through 50,000 checklists 4000 birders). Unsupervised clustering (k = 4) and mathematical...
Analyzed were the length–weight relationship (LWR) and length–length (LLR) of two fish species, Strongylura strongylura (family Belonidae) Hyporhamphus limbatus Hemiramphidae) from Chilika Lake, India. A total 616 specimens sampled bi-monthly August 2014 to June 2016 using seine nets screen barrier operated by local fishermen that used for present estimates.
Microplankton population of Asia's largest coastal lagoon Chilika was studied for five major groups, bacillariophyceae, cyanophyceae, chlorophyceae, dinophyceae, rotifera, and tintinninae. The study reported presence 233 species microplankton whose average annual abundance 1631 cells/l. physicochemical parameters contributing to the spatio-temporal fluctuations in diversity, abundance, community structure were identified as salinity, pH, DO, nitrate, silicate. Salinity, transparency, depth,...
The LWRs of 37 fish species from Chilika Lagoon belonging to 29 genera 24 families were estimated. following examined: Acanthopagrus berda, longispinnis, Ambassis ambassis, gymnocephalus, Anabas testudineus, Aplocheilus panchax, Atherinomorus duodecimalis, Cirrhinus reba, Daysciaena albida, Dendrophysa russelii, Eleutheronema tetradactylum, Elops machnata, Epinephelus coioides, Etroplus suratensis, Glossogobius giuris, Labeo rohita, Lutjanus indicus, johnii, Mystus gulio, Nematalosa nasus,...
This study reports the length–weight relationship (LWR) and length-length (LLR) estimated for four fish species inhabiting in Chilika Lake, India. Total 504 specimens were sampled from mono-filament gill nets (mesh size 12 mm, 22–24 34–38 42 mm) during January 2015 to December 2015. The b values LWR ranged between 2.79 (T. biaculeatus) 3.29 (C. praeustus). In all species, relationships length-weight highly correlated (p < .05). provides first world on LWRs LLRs 4 studied species.
Abstract Inland capture fisheries in many parts of the world, especially developing nations, receive relatively low governance priority, thereby raising concerns about their sustainability. Consequently, most inland are data‐limited, which renders conventional assessment methods inapplicable for making science‐based monitoring and management decisions. Three recent data‐limited approaches marine fish stock assessments using length frequency catch data (Length‐Based Indicators [LBI],...
Abstract Stawy Milickie (Milicz Ponds) is a natural reserve that has great ecological importance as Ramsar site and economic one of the largest carp breeding centres in Europe. Continuous anthropogenic pressure on these large ecosystems can lead to high disturbance its ecology sustainability. Phytoplankton, most important indicators any load, especially organic pollution have been studied present study. This first work ever from Milicz ponds, wherein diversity, community structure seasonal...
Abstract Understanding diversity gradients across global deserts remains a significant challenge. The unique characteristics of complicate conservation efforts for these biomes, which are highly affected by climate change. Here, we conduct comprehensive study ecological traits to determine the behavior and uniqueness avian communities in ten major tropical deserts, using crowd-sourced data from GBIF.org as key analytical tool. Our results reveal variations bird among with heightened near...

The macrobenthic fauna of Chilika Lagoon was investigated from July 2012 to June 2016 comprehend the status post its restoration and discern signs biological recovery.The study revealed existence 42 faunal taxa belonging 28 families, apart polychaetes, oligochaetes fishes.Gastropods dominated population lagoon, especially in Central sector during pre-monsoon monsoon seasons.Stenothyra blanfordiana an endemic species with abundance as high 3067 no./m 2 , contributed 80% total fauna.Despite...
Understanding the adaptive strategies of species in extreme environments is crucial for biodiversity conservation. This study first to explore nesting behavior Dusky Crag Martin Ptyonoprogne concolor Thar Desert, Rajasthan. It examined bird's site selection, frequency, and construction methods. Soil samples from nest sites source locations were analyzed identify structural elemental properties. The bird adopts several strategies, such as aligning its period with monsoon, reusing nests,...
