  • Title of the Project: Monitoring of Migratory Birds at Selected Water Bodies of Murshidabad District
    REPORT ON THE PROJECT 2020 Title of the project: Monitoring of Migratory Birds at selected water bodies of Murshidabad district Submitted by Santi Ranjan Dey Department of Zoology, Rammohan College, 102/1, Raja Rammohan Sarani, Kolkata 09 2020 REPORT ON THE PROJECT Title of the project: Monitoring of Migratory Birds at selected water bodies of Murshidabad District: Introduction: The avian world has always been a fascination to the human world and has been a subject of our studies. Mythological documents hold a number of examples of birds being worshiped as goods with magical powers by the ancient civilizations. Even today winged wonders continue to be the subject of our astonishment primarily because of their ability to fly, their ability to build extraordinarily intricate nests, and of course, the brilliant colour of their plumage – features that no human being can replicate. Taxonomically birds are categorized in “Orders” “Families” and “Genera” and “species”. But overall they are divided into two groups: Passeriformes (or Passerines) and Non Passeriformes (non passerines). At least 60% of all bird species are Passeriformes or song birds, their distinguishing characteristics being their specialized leg structure, vocal structure and brain-wiring which allows them to produce complex songs. The non- passerine comprises 28 out of 29 orders of birds in the world. Throughout the world approximately 11,000 species are found. India is having 1301 species. West Bengal has 57.69% of the total avian fauna (750 species). Though there are many nomenclatures used by different people, we followed “Standardized common and scientific names of birds of Indian subcontinent by Manakadan and Pittie (2001).” Identification of bird is generally based on combination of various characteristics.

  • Avifaunal Diversity of Bibhutibhushan Wildlife Sanctuary, West Bengal, India
    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.

W. Forte 4, Cinzia Franceschini 2, Alessandro Ruggieri 5 and Gianluca Piovesan 2 ABSTRACT. National parks in mountain areas are biodiversity hotspots in which implementing the sustainability goals of Agenda 2030 is particularly urgent. Ecotourism provides an opportunity to convey bio-ecological and economic sustainability principles to the public, focusing on nature conservation and a reduction of the negative impacts of tourism. We investigated four national parks in the Apennines, Italy using the insights of hiking guides with park accreditation to assess sustainability issues. Multivariate analyses of questionnaires revealed that most of the interviewed hiking guides across the Apennines were sensitive toward the theme of sustainability. Limiting the ecological footprint of tourism was identified as the main challenge. Interesting feedback on management issues was given by hiking guides, indicating innovations such as food, waste-disposal management, accommodation, and transport as critical areas with the potential to impact sustainable development. Certification schemes were also recognized as an important tool with which to encourage ecologically responsible tourism.

College, Porayar, Tamil Nadu, India. Abstract In the present investigation a total number of 52 species of bird were recorded in the entire study period which consists of 13 orders and 29 families. Some of the species yet to be identified. Out of 52 bird species, 37 (71.15%) bird species were Resident (R), 14 (26.92%) bird species were Resident Migrant (RM) and one (1.92%) species was Migrant (M). The minimum population density of bird species recorded were Little grebe (18.75 Birds/km2), Crow pheasant (15.63 Birds/km2), Black winged kite (15.63 Birds/km2), On the other hand, maximum population of bird species recorded were Small green bee eater (175.00 Birds/km2), Common crow (181.25 Birds/km2), Brahminy starling (271.88 Birds/km2), Indian myna (309.38 Birds/km2), House sparrow (362.50 Birds/km2). In the present investigation the density estimates among months of all species were not statistically significant (df = 4, P 2. 152, P > 0.05 one-way ANOVA-test). The Shannon-wiener diversity index, in different seasons among habitats was showed high values in monsoon (x= 3. 467) and lower during post monsoon (x= 3.062). Maximum diversity index was recorded during premonsoon season and minimum diversity index was recorded during post monsoon and summer seasons.

  • Morphological Variability of Cordulegaster Trinacriae in Italy 1St December 2019175
    Morphological variability of Cordulegaster trinacriae in Italy 1st December 2019175 Morphological variability of Cordulegaster trinacriae in Italy (Odonata: Cordulegastridae) Andrea Corso MISC – Via Camastra, 10, 96100 Siracusa, Italy; <[email protected]> Received 15th July 2019; revised and accepted 10th September 2019 Abstract. This paper describes the most helpful features for field identification C.of trinacri­ ae and the relevant morphological variability encountered. In C. trinacriae the yellow frons was without a dark horizontal marking in about 70 % of the sample or showed a barely pat- terned frons, while the remaining 30 % showed a more or less defined dark smudge, though always narrower and less bold than in C. boltonii. The percentage of unmarkedversus marked frons was similar throughout the distributional range of C. trinacriae except in Sicily, where the unmarked yellow frons was much more common (87 %) and in Campania, where in- dividuals with a dark mark on the frons were slightly more common than unmarked ones. In C. trinacriae the occipital triangle was almost always yellow with no or almost no dark markings, cleaner, and purer yellow than in C. boltonii from central Italy. The appendages of C. trinacriae always showed the characteristic form except for a few individuals, which might be hybrids. In C. boltonii they were found to be rather variable, especially on individuals from the southern part of its distributional range in central Italy, where intermediates and hybrids occur.

Our inaugural Autumn held camp- out at Port Fairy was also achieved prior to the restrictions placed upon us by Covid19. These restrictions unfortunately cancelled all our subsequent meetings and outings including the much anticipated branch outing using the Golden City Paddlesteamer on Lake Wendouree. With restrictions slowly lifting as soon as we are able, our syllabus will resume. However the last few months have provided an opportunity to become very engaged in what happens in our own backyards. Thanks to Ian Ashton for commencing a monthly branch backyard survey and to all who have participated. This pooled data is a valuable resource in reviewing our branch bird lists.

Critically Endangered species are those defined as facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild in the immediate future. Today, worldwide, 190 bird species fall in this category, 27 of which breed in Africa. One of the strategies that has been put in place (by BirdLife International) to help conserve rare birds is the establishment of Important Bird Areas (IBAs). In Africa there are 1 228 IBAs; however, 43 per cent of them have no legal re cognition or protection and one half of them are threatened by agriculture. PHIL HOCKEY explores the factors that are responsible for driving the 27 Critically Endangered African bird species to the brink of extinction. Tristan Albatross. The world breeding population (about 1 500 pairs per year) of this Critically Endan- gered species is confined to Gough and Inaccessible islands and is decreasing.
