The gharial (Gavialis gangeticus) is a critically endangered crocodylian, endemic to the Indian subcontinent. species has experienced severe population decline during twentieth century owing habitat loss, poaching, and mortalities in passive fishing. Its extant populations have largely recovered through translocation programmes initiated 1975. Understanding genetic status of these crucial for evaluating effectiveness ongoing conservation efforts. This study assessed diversity, structure,...
Abstract Eld's deer ( Rucervus eldii ) with three recognised subspecies R. e. eldii, thamin, and siamensis represents one of the most threatened cervids found in Southeast Asia. The species has experienced considerable range contractions local extinctions owing to habitat loss fragmentation, hunting, illegal trade across its distribution over last century. Understanding patterns genetic variation is crucial for planning effective conservation strategies. This study investigated...
Abstract For rewilding the depleted crocodylian populations in India, a targeted ‘one-species one area’ based conservation approach was adopted early-1970s. Suitable habitats were identified and designated as protected areas, specifically to recover particular species. A ~ 610 km stretch of Chambal River Ganga Basin declared National Sanctuary restore ‘Critically Endangered’ gharial ( Gavialis gangeticus ), where active management mugger Crocodylus palustris ) discouraged. In present study,...
