The Dravidian language family consists of about 80 varieties (Hammarström H. 2016 Glottolog 2.7) spoken by 220 million people across southern and central India surrounding countries (Steever SB. 1998 In languages (ed. SB Steever), pp. 1-39: 1). Neither the geographical origin homeland nor its exact dispersal through time are known. history these is crucial for understanding prehistory in Eurasia, because despite their current restricted range, played a significant role influencing other...
The Northern River Terrapin, Batagur baska (Gray, 1830), is a critically endangered freshwater turtle, primarily found in the estuaries and tidal regions of large rivers South Southeast Asia. B. has experienced extensive population declines extirpations across most its range, with no confirmed wild populations remaining. To support conservation efforts this our study utilizes first complete mitochondrial genome using next-generation sequencing (NGS). This data combined existing genetic...
Identifying and prioritising naturally occurring within-species diversity, which may correlate with local adaptations or vicariance, is an integral part of conservation planning. Using non-invasive sampling a panel 11 microsatellites on 158 individual tigers from pan India sample, our evaluation revealed three population clusters in India: unique North-Eastern tigers, combined cluster Western Ghats, Terai mixed Central India. At further division, Odisha, Valmiki southern Ghats were distinct....
ABSTRACT Many endangered species are specialists of threatened habitats with poorly understood species–habitat relationships. Hence, knowledge their habitat selection becomes vital for effective conservation management. We investigated the hispid hare Caprolagus hispidus using a hierarchical multiscale analysis, from geographical range to microsites. conducted surveys in eight protected areas (PAs) covering entire Terai region along foothills Indian Himalayas. examined effects climatic,...
This study focuses on the short-term contamination and associated risks arising from release of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) due to 2020 Baghjan oil blowout in upper Assam, India. Shortly after blowout, samples were collected water, sediment, fish species examined for PAHs contents. The results analysis revealed ΣPAHs concentrations ranged between 0.21-691.31 μg L-1 (water); 37.6-395.8 Kg-1 (sediment); 104.3-7829.6 (fish). prevalence 3-4 ring low molecular weight compounds water...
The influence of kinship on animal cooperation is often unclear. Cooperating Asiatic lion coalitions are linearly hierarchical; male partners appropriate resources disproportionately. To investigate how affect coalitionary dynamics, we combined microsatellite based genetic inferences with long-term genealogical records to measure relatedness between coalition free-ranging lions in Gir, India. Large had higher likelihood having sibling partners, while pairs were primarily unrelated. Fitness...
Populations of the Ganges river dolphin (Platanista gangetica gangetica) are endangered, with ~3500 individuals estimated worldwide. Threats to this precarious population is exacerbated by accidental entanglement and illegal hunting for oil, which used in bait fisheries traditional medicine. Alternatives oil have been proposed extensively promoted India, curb immediate threat populations. However, it not known whether dolphins still being poached despite proposal aforementioned alternatives....
Abstract Ganges River dolphins echolocate, but this mechanism is inadequate for poor sonar-echoing objects such as the monofilament gillnets, causing considerable net entanglement related mortalities. Net deaths are one of major causes cetacean population decline around world. Experiments were carried out to understand use pingers—an acoustic deterrent, in aiding deterrence from fishing nets. Based on dolphin clicks recorded, an experimental setup spanning 36 days, a 90% was found; 22.87 ±...
Tor mahanadicus was originally described as mosal with inadequate information on its morphological traits and no designated type specimen. Currently, T. is synonymized putitora, solely based partial molecular data despite significant differences. In this study, we performed an integrated analysis to redescribe from the Mahanadi River. distinguished all known Indian species by presence of 2 complete rows scales between pelvic fin origin lateral line, small eye (15.3-16.9% in head length), a...
The Nicobar Bulbul Ixos nicobariensis is an endemic species found across the central Islands whose systematic position has been debated for many decades. Its current placement in genus tentative and based on morphological similarities geographical affinities to other members of genus. We used mitochondrial nuclear markers examine its phylogenetic relationship Hypsipetes . Our results indicate that sister , not further discuss origin this our study.
