The species were characterized as zoochorous, anemochorous and autochorous. Out of 15,258 individuals, 87 % showed zoochory as a mode of dispersal, accounting for 68.1 % of the total species encountered. A test of independence between leaf habit (evergreen/deciduous) and dispersal modes showed that more than the expected number of evergreen species was zoochorous. The cumulative disturbance index (CDI) was significantly negatively correlated with zoochory (P < 0.05); on the other hand no specific trend of anemochory with disturbance was seen. The pre-monsoon period (February to May) was found to be the peak period for fruiting of around 64 % of species irrespective of their dispersal mode.

The new IUCN Red List criteria have been revised by IUCN to reflect the need for greater objectivity and precision when categorising species for conservation action. The CAMP process, developed by the Conservation Breeding Specialist Group, has emerged as an effective, flexible, participatory and scientific methodology for conducting species prioritisation exercises using the IUCN criteria. Since 1995, the Foundation for Revitalisation of Local Health Traditions has been con- ducting CAMP Workshops for one of the major groups of conservation concern, medici- nal plants.

Flying squirrels consumed 4 major plant parts belonging to 9 plant species. Ficus racemosa was the most-eaten species (68.1%) during the period of the study, followed by Cullenia exarillata (9.57%) and Artocarpus heterophyllus (6.38%). The most commonly consumed food item was the fruit of F. racemosa (48.93%). Leaves formed an important component of the diet (32.97%) and the leaves of F. racemosa were consumed more than those of any other species. Flying squirrels proved to be tolerant of disturbance and exploited food resources at the fragment edge, including exotic planted species.

ABSTRACT In the present study, the anti-microbial efficacy of acetone, methanol and water extracts of leaf, stem bark and fruit of Elaeocarpus tuberculatus Roxb. (Elaeocarpaceae). The plant parts were examined against four bacterial species (Shigella sonnei, Salmonella typhi, Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae) and a fungal species (Candida albicans) using the agar well diffusion method. The plant extracts exhibited a dose-dependent inhibition of microorganisms, especially; the acetone and methanol extracts of leaf and stem bark displayed maximum anti-bacterial activity against all the bacterial species studied. The plant extracts also displayed high anti-fungal activity against Candida albicans particularly; the acetone extract showed pronounced anti-fungal activity. Generally, the lower concentrations of the extracts were susceptible to the fungal pathogen. The results of the study confirm the plant E. tuberculatus could also be a new source for anti-microbial drug discovery.
