    Research Article Gajah 40 (2014) 18-25 Foraging Ecology of the Asian Elephant in Northern West Bengal Mukti Roy1* and Sushant Chowdhury2 1Asian Nature Conservation Foundation, Centre for Ecological Sciences, Indian Institute of Science, Banaglore, India 2Wildlife Institute of India, Chandrabani, Dehradun, India *Corresponding author’s e-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Foraging by Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) was studied using the lead animal technique at Buxa Tiger Reserve, Jaldapara Wildlife Sanctuary and Gorumara National Park in West Bengal, India. Feeding trials were done in three broad habitat types—Dense-mixed, Open-mixed and Grassland. In total, 3150 bite counts and 67 consumed plant species consisting of 17 grasses, 6 herbs, 13 shrubs, 14 climbers and 17 trees, were recorded. Browse species bites formed 56% of the total sample and 89 %, 57%, and 24 % of the samples in dense-mixed, open-mixed and grassland, respectively. Crude protein in common wild grasses such as Saccharum spontaneum and S. arundinaceum was lower than cultivated crops like Eleucine corocana.

Since host and parasite diversities are strongly connected, 13 landscape changes are also likely to change wildlife parasite diversity with implication for 14 wildlife health. However, research linking anthropogenic landscape change and wildlife 15 parasite diversity is limited, especially comparing effects of land use change and habitat 16 fragmentation, which often cooccur but may affect parasite diversity substantially 17 differently. Here, we assessed how anthropogenic land use change (presence of plantation, 18 livestock foraging and human settlement) and habitat fragmentation may change the 19 gastrointestinal parasite diversity of wild mammalian host species (n=23) in Anamalai hills, 20 India. We found that presence of plantations, and potentially livestock, significantly 21 increased parasite diversity due possibly to spillover of parasites from livestock to wildlife. 22 However, effect of habitat fragmentation on parasite diversity was not significant.
