We here describe a new rupicolous day gecko species nested within the C. gracilis clade from Madurai, Tamil Nadu, India. The differs with combination of morphological characters and molecular phylogenetics, other closely related congeners. sequence divergence in comparison congeners is 6.1–15.2% for ND2 gene. can also be differentiated based on following characters: conical spine-like tubercles absent flanks; adult SVL less than 35.0 mm; two precloacal pores; pores separated medially by...
The Nilgiri large burrowing spider, Haploclastus nilgirinus Pocock, 1899, an endemic tarantula in the Nilgiris Region of India, is critical for conservation yet poorly understood terms its ecology and habitat. This study addresses this gap by examining nesting habits, tree-hole dynamics, prey diversity species Coonoor, Nilgiris, specifically within tea plantations fruit orchards. Observations focused on seven pear trees serving as sites, with detailed measurements holes, including outer...
Twenty seven road killed specimens of Plectrurus perrotetii were recorded in Emerald and its surrounding areas the Nilgiris. Among kills, fourteen them females, males six are juveniles. kill female this species, it was observed that gravid with fully developed young. Three to developing young ones
The Nilgiri Hills, which are part of the Western Ghats, have a mean elevation in District Tamil Nadu 2,500 m asl (Cordero et al. 2018).At higher elevations dominated by montane grasslands (Karunakaran 1998), rain falls throughout year (mean annual rainfall 500 mm), with peaks June
Masturbation is an auto-sexual behaviour, a widespread phylogenetic trait in many taxa. squirrels was rarely reported. We observed Indian palm squirrel (Funambulus palmarum) doing the auto-fellatio activity away from scurry Bhavanisagar, Tamil Nadu. However, behaviour F. palmarum novel.
agamid endemic to the Western Ghats, where it is distributed at elevations of 1,600-2,500 m asl in Nilgiri Hills Tamil Nadu (Daniel 2002).At 1147 h on 8 July 2021, a cool, cloudy day (ambient temperature 16 °C) Ooty, Nilgiris, Nadu, India (11.41897°N, 76.71031°E), we encountered Horsfield's Spiny Lizard Crofton Weed (Eupatorium adenophorum) (Fig. 1).At time capture (body 11 °C), this lizard was rather uniformly dark but within 7 sec its coloration had changed reveal distinct pattern 2).An...
