Anuran Diversity Distribution Patterns in Lower Dibang Valley of Arunachal Pradesh, India
Herpetology Notes, volume 11: 781-789 (2018) (published online on 27 September 2018) Anuran diversity distribution patterns in Lower Dibang Valley of Arunachal Pradesh, India Jayanta K. Roy1,2*, Ramie H. Begum1, and M. Firoz Ahmed2 Abstract. The present study was conducted to estimate the anuran species diversity distribution patterns at Lower Dibang Valley with respect to secondary habitat conservation. Time-constrained Visual Encounter Surveys (VES) were conducted for amphibians followed with opportunistic observations during the study period. We compared the species diversity from three land use/land cover types that explained the available habitats and the importance of secondary forest in recolonizing anuran species during the course of study. Interestingly, anuran diversity measured from secondary/abandoned jhum and primary forest areas were found to be relatively equal (Shannon index; H: 2.77 and 2.76). The highest percentage of unique species was recorded from primary forest followed by secondary/abundant jhum and agriculture/settlement areas. However, secondary/abandoned jhum areas provided refuge for most anuran species normally inhabiting primary forest. We found beneficial human interaction along with secondary succession for creating habitat heterogeneity in secondary/abundant forest; and thus supports maximum anuran breeding habitats and species diversity in secondary/abundant jhum areas. Hence, secondary/abundant habitats were also important for anuran habitat conservation along with primary forest. We reported four new distribution records from Arunachal Pradesh: Nanorana chayuensis, Hydrophylax leptoglossa, Odorrana chloronota and Theloderma moloch. Keywords. Arunachal Pradesh, anuran diversity, habitat heterogeneity, land use/land cover, Lower Dibang Valley Introduction et al., 2005), followed by vegetation cover and local microclimate (Rios-Lopez and Aide, 2007). -

INTRODUCTION The Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan, referred to as ‘Drukyul’, or the Land of the Thunder Dragon, by the Bhutanese is a small (area: 38,394 sq km, or slightly larger than Switzerland) landlocked nation, situated between China (Tibet) and India, straddling the southern slopes of the eastern Himalayas. The Kingdom has an east-west extent of about 300 km and a north-south extent of 170 km, and comprises mostly evergreen forest- clad mountains. The country has a long (470 km) border with Tibet (China’s Xizang Autonomous Region) to the north and northwest and a longer combined one (605 km) with the Indian state of Sikkim to the west, Poschim Banga (formerly, West Bengal) to the southwest, Assam to the south and southeast, and Arunachal Pradesh to the east. Sikkim, a tiny state of the Indian union separates Bhutan from Nepal, while Poschim Banga separates it from Bangladesh. The traditional border with Tibet follows the Chumbi valley watershed in the northwest and the crest of the Himalayas in the north while the border with India in the south is dictated by a treaty with British India in the Nineteenth Century; that frontier essentially follows the contours made by the Himalayan foothills with the plains. -
