Zoonotic diseases affect resource-poor tropical communities disproportionately, and are linked to human use modification of ecosystems. Disentangling the socio-ecological mechanisms by which ecosystem change precipitates impacts pathogens is critical for predicting disease risk designing effective intervention strategies. Despite global "One Health" initiative, predictive models zoonotic often focus on narrow ranges factors rarely scaled programs use. This study uses a participatory,...
Surface water plays a vital role in the spread of infectious diseases. Information on spatial and temporal dynamics surface availability is thus critical to understanding, monitoring forecasting disease outbreaks. Before launch Sentinel-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) missions, has been captured at various scales through approaches based optical remote sensing data. A drawback latter data loss due cloud cover, however few studies have quantified this. This study evaluated clouds three...
Conversion of natural habitats to intensive land-uses, has resulted in fragmentation and loss biodiversity. There is a spillover species ecological processes from ecosystems modified landscapes as they are often juxtaposed with each other. Therefore, there need assess the ability such managed sustain In this synthesis, we explore biodiversity tea plantations through lens reconciliation ecology agroecology. We ask if agroecosystems support attributes that can contribute or impede support....
The overall precipitation in the state of Bihar, India is showing a decreasing trend both annually and seasonally, yet extreme flood events are on rise. Kosi river embankments built to safeguard communities against risk product socio-political historical past, but have resulted differential impacts those living inside outside these embankments. geomorphology also makes it highly susceptible recurring floods because forms one largest inland deltas North Bihar. Flood protection structures such...
Satellite-based land cover mapping plays an important role in understanding changes ecosystems and biodiversity. There are global products available, however for region specific studies of drivers infectious disease patterns, these can lack the spatial thematic detail or accuracy required to capture key ecological processes. To overcome this, we produced our own Landsat derived 30 m maps three districts India's Western Ghats (Wayanad, Shivamogga Sindhudurg). The locate natural vegetation...
Globally, grasslands are declining and in highly degraded conditions. In South Asia, neglected treated as wastelands. They remain unprotected, fragmented, poorly understood, which has led to a loss of unique biodiversity livelihoods. Mapping accurately is challenge current maps based on optical remote sensing often over- or underestimate Asia due the prevalent complex landscape matrix, small patch sizes, obscuring monsoonal clouds. Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), fused with moderate spatial...
Abstract Despite their distinctive role in regulating agroecosystems, soil fauna is largely excluded from conservation action. With increasing evidence supporting matrix functionality as critical for multiple species it important that efforts meant to enhance biodiversity managed systems be inclusive and effective all not just charismatic fauna. Third party certifications are a popular mechanism claiming pro‐conservation practises tropical agricultural lands. Therefore, we asked whether...
The study was conducted at Cauvery wildlife sanctuary, Karnataka, India from 2015 to 2019. This intended understand the periodic events in biological life cycles concerning changes timings of seasonal events. It includes leafing, flowering, and fruiting patterns among selected tree species Terminalia chebula Retz., which is an important non-timber forest product (NTFPs) sanctuary. A total 32 adult individual trees, two transects different places were observed thirty days intervals. that...
Food availability is one of the important criteria for migrant birds to decide stay at a stopover site. This can vary depending on conditions The Thar Desert Indian subcontinent major wintering in region. desert also prone stochastic invasion locusts that often coincide with time birds. We tracked eight tagged Montagu's harriers determine if length sites affected by and strategies employ ensure food during stopover. mean duration locust outbreak was 12 days, 16 days other years. Birds did...
