The initial emphasis of this five-year project will be on developing a scientifically based, low-cost, community-based approach to rehabilitating key coastal ecosystems at specific sites in the East Coast and facilitating replication of these techniques all along the East Coast (and in due course other tsunami-affected coasts). Three sites representing three major ecosystems – mangroves, coastal lagoons, and sand dunes –have been identified for piloting these themes. The selection was based on outputs from the Threats Analysis and the following criteria. 1. Hotspot analysis: sites where the tsunami effect was severe on the ecosystems and post tsunami reconstructions are in progress, global/national biodiversity importance exist, concentration of various resource users and their high dependency over the available resources exist and user conflicts exist. 2. Accessibility: accessibility by road was a criterion for selecting pilot sites 3. Absence of ongoing management and monitoring projects: sites at which on-going projects have not being considered for selection 4.

  • Some Aspects of Feeding Ecology of the Lesser Sand Plover Charadrius Mongolus in Three Different Zones in the Kadalundy Estuary, Kerala, South India
    Feeding ecology of Lesser Sand Plover in Kerala, S India – K.M. Aarif Some Aspects of Feeding Ecology of the Lesser Sand Plover Charadrius mongolus in Three Different Zones in the Kadalundy Estuary, Kerala, South India K.M. AARIF Department of Zoology, Mananthavady Campus, Kannur University, Waynad District, Kerala, South INDIA. Email: [email protected] Received 24 October 2009; accepted 12 December 2009 Abstract: The study on feeding ecology of the Lesser Sand Plover (LSP) at Kadalundy estuary from July 2007 to December 2008, revealed that there were 13 species of crustaceans and 16 species of polychaete worms identified in the study area of which all identified small crab species(4 species) and polychaete worms (4 species) were consumed by LSPs. The highest number of crustacean species was found in mangroves (11 species). In contrast the highest species number of polychaete worms (13 species) was seen in the mudflats while no polychaete worm was identified in the sandy beds. Of the Crustaceans, Sesarma quadrata and Ocypoda sp. occurred in all the habitats. Sampling polychaete worms undertaken once a month showed that the number peaked at 39 in December 2008 in mudflats. Using direct observations once a week, the number of feeding birds was at its highest in December and January. Pearson correlation test showed significant relationship between the number of polychaete worms and feeding LSPs both at mudflats and mangroves ( p<0.05) and the Scheffe univariate test (ANOVA) showed significant differences between the three habitat zones ( p<0.01). The highest number of average total pecks at prey was seen at mudflats (82.1 in the morning and 128.0 in the afternoon).

  • Migration Route for Greater and Lesser Sand Plovers Spending the Non-Breeding Season in Kenya
    Biodiversity Observations http://bo.adu.org.za An electronic journal published by the Animal Demography Unit at the University of Cape Town The scope of Biodiversity Observations consists of papers describing observations about biodiversity in general, including animals, plants, algae and fungi. This includes observations of behaviour, breeding and flowering patterns, distributions and range extensions, foraging, food, movement, measurements, habitat and colouration/plumage variations. Biotic interactions such as pollination, fruit dispersal, herbivory and predation fall within the scope, as well as the use of indigenous and exotic species by humans. Observations of naturalised plants and animals will also be considered. Biodiversity Observations will also publish a variety of other interesting or relevant biodiversity material: reports of projects and conferences, annotated checklists for a site or region, specialist bibliographies, book reviews and any other appropriate material. Further details and guidelines to authors are on this website.

Sri Lanka ‘s Cultural Triangle Sri Lanka’s Cultural triangle is situated in the centre of the island and covers an area which includes 5 World Heritage cultural sites(UNESCO) of the Sacred City of Anuradhapura, the Ancient City of Polonnaruwa, the Ancient City of Sigiriya, the Ancient City of Dambulla and the Sacred City of Kandy. Due to the constructions and associated historical events, some of which are millennia old, these sites are of high universal value; they are visited by many pilgrims, both laymen and the clergy (prominently Buddhist), as well as by local and foreign tourists. Kandy the second largest city in Sri- Lanka and a UNESCO world heritage site, due its rich, vibrant culture and history. This historic city was the Royal Capital during the 16th century and maintains its sanctified glory predominantly due to the sacred temples.

  • Notes on Cryptocoryne
    Notes on Cryptocoryne BY T. Petch, B.A., B.Sc. WITH FOUR PLATES The genus Cryptocoryne (Araceae) was established by Fischer for the reception of two Indian species, Cryptocoryne spiralis and Crypto- coryne ciliata, which had been described under Ambrosinia by Roxburgh. Additional species were described by Roxburgh, Schott, and other botanists, while in Beccari, Malesia, Engler described eleven new species from Borneo and gave a conspectus of twenty-four known species. In Flora British India, Hooker enumerated sixteen species, and in Flora of Ceylon, five species. The total number of species is now over thirty, confined to the Eastern Tropics. For our knowledge of the structure of the flower we are indebted almost entirely to Griffith, who recorded the results of his examination of fresh specimens of Cryptocoryne ciliata in Trans. Linn. Soc., XX, pp. 263-276. The spadix is small, and it is not easy to determine the details of its structure from dried specimens. Consequently, very little has been added to Griffith's account, and a detailed examination of the living flower is still lacking in the case of the majority of the alleged species. In Ceylon, Cryptocoryne has been considered very rare. Crypto- coryne Thwaitesii Schott, hitherto the best-known species, occurs in the wet low-country in the south-west of the Island. C. Nevillii Trimen was described from a single collection made by Nevill in the Eastern Province. C. Beckettii Thwaites was collected in 1865 in Matale East, and there are two subsequent collections assigned to this species in Herb., Peradeniya. The record of C.

  • Natural Hybridization – Recombination – an Ever-Ongoing Process
    THAI FOREST BULL., BOT. 47(1): 19–28. 2019. DOI https://doi.org/10.20531/tfb.2019.47.1.05 Natural hybridization – recombination – an ever-ongoing process NIELS JACOBSEN1,* & MARIAN ØRGAARD1 ABSTRACT Exemplified by studies of the SE Asian genusCryptocoryne (Araceae) we provide evidence that: 1) interspecific hybridization is an ever- ongoing process, and introgression and gene exchange takes place whenever physically possible throughout the region; 2) artificial hybridization experiments confirm that wide crosses are possible in a large number of cases; 3) rivers and streams provide numerous, diverse habitats for Cryptocoryne diaspores to settle in; 4) the changes in habitats caused by recurrent glaciations resulting in numerous splitting and merging of populations facilitates hybridization and segregation of subsequent generations; 5) hybridization is a major driving element in speciation; 6) populations are the units and stepping stones in evolution – not the species. KEYWORDS: Araceae, Chromosome numbers, Cryptocoryne, hybridization, evolution. Accepted for publication: 11 January 2019.
