Despite being one of the largest genera of the (Che et al., 2007). At species level Hylarana auran- cosmopolitan anuran family Ranidae (Frost, 2014), tiaca contains Rana (Hylorana) bhagmandlensis Rao, Hylarana Tschudi, 1838, has not been subjected to any 1922 as a synonym (by Dubois, 1992), while Hylarana rigorous systematic analyses and presently has only temporalis contains three synonyms: Rana flavescens four known species from the entire Western Ghats-Sri Jerdon 1853, Rana (Hylorana) gracilis montanus Rao, Lanka biodiversity hotspot, which spans an area of 1922 and Rana (Hylorana) intermedius Rao, 1937 more than 227 600 km2. Globally, the genus Hylarana contains 84 nominal species distributed on three continents (Frost, 2014), among which several are widely distributed (Bain et al., 2003; Frost et al., 2006). Two such species are H. aurantiaca (Boulenger, 1904) and H. temporalis (Gün- ther, 1864), which are known as widely distributed species both in the Western Ghats and Sri Lanka (e.g. Daniel and Sekar, 1989; Dutta and Manamendra- Arachchi, 1996; Dutta, 1997; Chanda, 2002; Daniels, 2005; De Silva, 2009). The taxonomy of these com- monly occuring species is confusing and unstable (Biju, 2001; Biju et al., 2004a, b). Moreover, unlike the other genera from this region, Hylarana is the only widespread genus for which no new taxa have been described for the past 77 years. Günther (1864) described Hylorana [sic] temporalis from ‘Ceylon’ (= Sri Lanka) and this species was sub- sequently reported from the entire Western Ghats (e.g. Boulenger, 1920; Inger et al., 1985; Daniel and Sekar, 1989; Dutta and Manamendra-Arachchi, 1996; Dutta, 1997; Chanda, 2002; Daniels, 2005). On the other hand, a relatively smaller species, Rana aurantiaca was described by Boulenger (1904) from ‘near Trivan- drum, Travancore [Kerala]’, southern India, and later reported to occur in Sri Lanka (e.g. Dutta and Mana- mendra-Arachchi, 1996; Dutta, 1997; De Silva, 2009). Hylarana temporalis and H. aurantiaca have not been studied in any great detail from across their ranges and Fig. 1.

  • Nilgiris District, Tamil Nadu Connie Smith Tamil Nadu Overview
    Nilgiris District, Tamil Nadu Connie Smith Tamil Nadu Overview Tamil Nadu is bordered by Pondicherry, Kerala, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. Sri Lanka, which has a significant Tamil minority, lies off the southeast coast. Tamil Nadu, with its traceable history of continuous human habitation since pre-historic times has cultural traditions amongst the oldest in the world. Colonised by the East India Company, Tamil Nadu was eventually incorporated into the Madras Presidency. After the independence of India, the state of Tamil Nadu was created in 1969 based on linguistic boundaries. The politics of Tamil Nadu has been dominated by DMK and AIADMK, which are the products of the Dravidian movement that demanded concessions for the 'Dravidian' population of Tamil Nadu. Lying on a low plain along the southeastern coast of the Indian peninsula, Tamil Nadu is bounded by the Eastern Ghats in the north and Nilgiri, Anai Malai hills and Palakkad (Palghat Gap) on the west. The state has large fertile areas along the Coromandel coast, the Palk strait, and the Gulf of Mannar. The fertile plains of Tamil Nadu are fed by rivers such as Kaveri, Palar and Vaigai and by the northeast monsoon. Traditionally an agricultural state, Tamil Nadu is a leading producer of agricultural products. Tribal Population As per 2001 census, out of the total state population of 62,405,679, the population of Scheduled Castes is 11,857,504 and that of Scheduled Tribes is 651,321. This constitutes 19% and 1.04% of the total population respectively.1 Further, the literacy level of the Adi Dravidar is only 63.19% and that of Tribal is 41.53%.

  • Seven New Species of Night Frogs (Anura, Nyctibatrachidae) from the Western Ghats Biodiversity Hotspot of India, with Remarkably High Diversity of Diminutive Forms
    Seven new species of Night Frogs (Anura, Nyctibatrachidae) from the Western Ghats Biodiversity Hotspot of India, with remarkably high diversity of diminutive forms Sonali Garg1, Robin Suyesh1, Sandeep Sukesan2 and SD Biju1 1 Systematics Lab, Department of Environmental Studies, University of Delhi, Delhi, India 2 Kerala Forest Department, Periyar Tiger Reserve, Kerala, India ABSTRACT The Night Frog genus Nyctibatrachus (Family Nyctibatrachidae) represents an endemic anuran lineage of the Western Ghats Biodiversity Hotspot, India. Until now, it included 28 recognised species, of which more than half were described recently over the last five years. Our amphibian explorations have further revealed the presence of undescribed species of Nights Frogs in the southern Western Ghats. Based on integrated molecular, morphological and bioacoustic evidence, seven new species are formally described here as Nyctibatrachus athirappillyensis sp. nov., Nyctibatrachus manalari sp. nov., Nyctibatrachus pulivijayani sp. nov., Nyctibatrachus radcliffei sp. nov., Nyctibatrachus robinmoorei sp. nov., Nyctibatrachus sabarimalai sp. nov. and Nyctibatrachus webilla sp. nov., thereby bringing the total number of valid Nyctibatrachus species to 35 and increasing the former diversity estimates by a quarter. Detailed morphological descriptions, comparisons with other members of the genus, natural history notes, and genetic relationships inferred from phylogenetic analyses of a mitochondrial dataset are presented for all the new species. Additionally, characteristics of male advertisement calls are described for four new and three previously known species. Among the new species, six are currently known to be geographically restricted to low and mid elevation Submitted 6 October 2016 regions south of Palghat gap in the states of Kerala and Tamil Nadu, and one is Accepted 20 January 2017 probably endemic to high-elevation mountain streams slightly northward of the gap in Published 21 February 2017 Tamil Nadu.

  • Spatial Distribution of Daily Rainfall in Karnataka - Deviations from the World Tropical Patterns
    International Journal of Science, Technology, Engineering and Management- A VTU Publication 2020; Vol: 2, Issue: 2, pp: 27 - 36 ISSN: 2582-5844 (Online) SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF DAILY RAINFALL IN KARNATAKA - DEVIATIONS FROM THE WORLD TROPICAL PATTERNS N.M.Thipperudrappa, a* a Professor, Department of Civil Engineering, Siddaganga Institute of Technology, Tumkur, India Abstract: The dependence of monthly rainfall on the number of rainy days and the mean daily intensity is studied in the case of two geographical regions of Karnataka, situated in the tropics. The pattern of rainfall distribution in the state, represented by the relationships, is A R T I C L E H I S T O R Y compared with that commonly found in tropical regions, situated elsewhere in the world. The study reveals that the pattern in the plains of Karnataka is somewhat comparable to that Received: 2020-06-14 generally found over the globe, while that in the case of mountainous Western Ghat region Revised: 2020-06-26 deviates much. The deviations are attributed to local factors, including the source of moisture Accepted: 2020-06-26 and the mechanism of precipitation. It is concluded that generalizations concerning rainfall pattern, based on geographical location, alone are dangerous and that general guidelines for hydrological designs must be adopted only after a study of the locally available rainfall records. Keywords: daily rainfall, tropical region, world patterns, Southwest monsoon, local factors, deviations from the general pattern. 1. INTRODUCTION in the state can be expected to furnish important information Studies on spatial and temporal distribution of rainfall, both on local factors such as location and topography in The study on regional and on global scales, have been of research is also expected to bring to light the deviations that exist in interest in hydrology for a very long time.
