The Arewa Atlas Team (AAT) in northern Nigeria has set an example for a robust methodological data collection and made big impact the African Bird Project. To broaden national bird atlas projects coverage across continent, this paper reports on activities protocols of AAT. We out how we have galvanised clubs club members to participate important monitoring project. then focus expedition conducted Bauchi State as example. outing was carried from 24 28 September 2020 line with BirdMap...
This is the first report of avian assemblage in study area Dutse, Nigeria. In addition to recording bird species, effects season, dominant vegetation structure, locality and anthropogenic activities on abundance, species richness diversity were investigated. Using point transect method, 264 points 48 km used count birds between 06:30 11:00 from August 2015 February 2016. A total 122 41 families recorded. Highest was recorded Warwade, highest abundance Model, Malamawa. The dry season woodland...
Vulture and raptor populations have declined across West Africa during recent decades due to numerous widespread anthropogenic threats. To estimate encounter rates of vultures raptors in northern Nigeria, we conducted a total 248 km driven transects on 195 53 paved unpaved roads, respectively. We also walked surveys beneath 79 power transmission lines search for dead raptors; visited 12 abattoirs, 11 slaughterhouses, dumpsites assess the occurrence raptors. All fieldwork was done between...
Abstract Millions of large soaring birds migrate from the Palaearctic to Africa every year, and follow distinct flyways around Mediterranean Sea. While there is conservation concern for many long-distance migratory bird populations, magnitude geographic range threats affecting along are poorly known, which complicates efficient mitigation. We used an endangered migrant, Egyptian Vulture Neophron percnopterus , as example species assess important in 13 countries eastern flyway. tracked 71...
Preliminary investigation in August, 2017 reported the presence of Lymnaea natalensis, Bellamya unicolor, Melanoides tuberculata and Bulinus globosus order increasing abundance distribution Warwade dam, Dutse, Jigawa State, Nigeria. A follow up study was carried out from April to October, 2019 reveal further details on freshwater snails relation some physiochemical factors dam. Four sampling sites; human activity, vegetation cover, lentic lotic were selected for along bank Freshwater...
Capsule: Although woodland habitat supports higher avian species diversity and abundance, shrubland may be more important for migratory species.Aims: To investigate the use of habitat, site season by bird according to feeding guild, residence status population trend in Dutse, Northern Nigeria.Methods: A point transect was used count identify birds between 0630 1100 hours from August 2015 February 2016 across habitats, sites seasons Dutse.Results: Frugivore abundance significantly habitat....
Following a preliminary investigation study was carried from April to October, 2019 establish more information on the abundance and distribution of freshwater snails in relation physiochemical factors Warwade dam. Four sampling sites; human activity, vegetation cover, lentic lotic were selected for along bank Freshwater collected each four sites using long handled scoop net with mesh 0.2mm hand picking methods. Water samples analyzed laboratory standard procedures. A total 2,027 fresh water...
Biodiversity is fast declining especially in African countries like Nigeria with paucity of data. This study was conducted to quantify biodiversity studies available on the Web Science database. Data were collected from core collection 1970-2020 inclusion “Biodiversity” as search term. Of 141, 781 global research Biodiversity, 155 (0.1%) Nigeria. Ecology and Environmental Journal top leading subject category, both 34 published articles, followed by Conservation (21) Plant (19). Bergi et al.,...
This study was conducted to evaluate the most studied class among Fish, Amphibians, Reptiles, Birds and Mammals in Nigeria. Data were obtained from Web of Science core collection 1970-2020 with inclusion each (“Fish” “Amphibians”, “Reptiles” “Birds” “Mammals”) country (“Nigeria”) as search terms. The class, fields within (Web subject categories), cited article author, affiliation publication identified used reveal results show that Fish a total 536 publications, is leading research focuses,...
