    Species Importance in a Heterospecific Foraging Association Network

Oikos © 2013 Nordic Society Oikos Subject Editor: Paulo Guimares Jr. Accepted 10 January 2013 Species importance in a heterospecific foraging association network Hari Sridhar, Ferenc Jordán and Kartik Shanker H. Sridhar ([email protected]) and K. Shanker, Centre for Ecological Sciences, Indian Inst. of Science, Bangalore-560012, India. – F. Jordán, The Microsoft Research – Univ. of Trento Centre for Computational and Systems Biology, Piazza Manifattura 1, IT-38068 Rovereto, TN, Italy. There is a growing recognition of the need to integrate non-trophic interactions into ecological networks for a better understanding of whole-community organization. To achieve this, the first step is to build networks of individual non- trophic interactions. In this study, we analyzed a network of interdependencies among bird species that participated in heterospecific foraging associations (flocks) in an evergreen forest site in the Western Ghats, India. We found the flock network to contain a small core of highly important species that other species are strongly dependent on, a pattern seen in many other biological networks. Further, we found that structural importance of species in the network was strongly correlated to functional importance of species at the individual flock level. Finally, comparisons with flock networks from other Asian forests showed that the same taxonomic groups were important in general, suggesting that species importance was an intrinsic trait and not dependent on local ecological conditions. Hence, given a list of species in an area, it may be possible to predict which ones are likely to be important.

    Available online at www.worldscientificnews.com WSN 71 (2017) 150-167 EISSN 2392-2192 Avifaunal Diversity of Bibhutibhushan Wildlife Sanctuary, West Bengal, India Shiladitya Mukhopadhyay1,* and Subhendu Mazumdar2 1Post Graduate Department of Zoology, Barasat Government College, North 24 Parganas, India 2Department of Zoology, Shibpur Dinobundhoo Institution (College), Shibpur, Howrah, India *E-mail address: [email protected] ABSTRACT Birds are found in a variety of habitats, performing various functions. They are highly sensitive to even minor perturbation in ecosystems. Documentation of avian assemblages in different ecosystems is, therefore, becoming increasingly important from environmental monitoring perspective. In absence of comprehensive account of birds of Bibhutibhushan Wildlife Sanctuary, West Bengal, India, we made an attempt to document the birds thriving in this protected area. A total of 102 species of birds belonging to 13 orders and 46 families were recorded during the study period (June 2013 – May 2016). Maximum number of species belong to the order Passeriformes (49 species) and minimum under order Anseriformes (1 species). Among the total bird species, 83 species (81.37%) were resident, 15 species (14.71%) were winter visitor, three species (2.94%) were summer visitor and one species (0.98%) was passage migrant. We noted 38 species of birds (including 36 residents and two summer visitors) to breed within the sanctuary. Analysis of feeding guild data revealed that 46.08% were insectivore, 22.55% were carnivore, 15.69% were omnivore, 6.86% were granivore, 5.88% were frugivore, 1.96% were nectarivore and 0.98% were herbivore. Grey-headed Fish Eagle (Icthyophaga ichthyaetus) and Red- breasted Parakeet (Psittacula alexandri) are two Near Threatened (NT) species designated by IUCN.

    Bago University Research Journal, 2018, Vol. 8, No. 1 Morphological Study on Nine Species of the Family Poaceae from Some Area of East Bago Region Ni Ni Aye* Abstract Poaceae is widely distributed family among the angiosperms. In these results, tribe Paniceae comprises 9 speeies and 7 genera of sub- family Panicoideae were collected in some area of East Bago Region. The morphological study on 9 species, 7 genera of sub- family Panicoideae are presented. Taxonomy descriptions are accompanied by the photographs of habits, ligules, inflorescences, spikelets and parts of the florets. Keywords: Poaceae, East Bago Area Introduction All grasses belong to the family Poaceae (Gramineae) of order Poales. Presently there are about 780 genera and 12,000 species of grasses on the world and grass dominated ecosystem, including tropical and sub- tropical savannah, temperate grassland and steppe cover more than 30% of earth land surface (willis, 2002). Poaceae are the fifth largest plant family (ESEAP Conference, 2018) in Myanmar, Poaceae is represented by 144 genera and 551 species according to Hundley and Chit Ko Ko, 1987. The appearance of grasses during the late cretaceous and early tertiary also represent the earliest fossil evidence for wind- pollinated herbaceous monocotyledons. Most of grasses are very important economically and ecologically. In this present study, grasses from some area of East Bago Region. In this research presented the subfamily Panicoideae of family Poaceae are classified accordance with Hafliger and Scholz’s classification (1981). 9 species and 7 genera were included in tribe Paniceae. Most genera of this tribe are well adaptation on land and aquatic habitats.

It is the wing scales which give the butterflies their beautiful colours and patterns and make them one of the most familiar of all insect groups. During present investigation 28 species belonging to 19 genera and 4 families were collected and identified of which 08 species belonged to family Papilionidae, 02 species to Pieridae, 12 to family Nymphalidae and 06 species to Lycaenidae. Relative diversity composition of each family revealed Nymphalidae (32.71%) was the most dominant while family Lycaenidae (30.26%) ranked second, followed by family Pieridae (22.19%) and Papilionidae (14.84%). Species diversity, evenness and species richness was calculated by Shannon-Weiner index, Evenness index and Margalef’s index. Analysis of species diversity of butterfly fauna revealed that the family Nymphalidae (2.412) was the highest followed by the family Papilionidae (2.040), Lycaneidae (1.763) and lowest in Pieridae (0.666). The calculated values of species richness ranged from 0.199 (Pieridae) to 2.028 (Nymphalidae) and Evenness Index ranged from 0.964 (Pieridae) to 0.984 (Lycaneidae).

Corresponding author: Justin L. Lee, [email protected] Abstract Dryocalamus subannulatus is reported for the first time from Myanmar. A single individual was found on the Thay- awthadangyi Island Group in the Myeik Archipelago, Tanintharyi Region. Morphological features and a maximum likelihood analysis of the 16S mitochondrial gene confirm its identity. This specimen represents the first record of D. subannulatus north of the Isthmus of Kra.
