It starts with genes and manifests itself as organisms, populations, species and communities, which give life to ecosystems, landscapes and ultimately the biosphere (Swaminathan, 1997). India in general and Himalayas in particular are the reservoir of genetic wealth ranging from tropical, sub-tropical, sub temperate including dry temperate and cold desert culminating into alpine (both dry and moist) flora and fauna.

The aim of the study was the effect of the human-caused environ- mental changes on the structure of weevil fauna (Coleoptera: Curculionoidea) as a result of the water dams construction. The research was carried out at six sites located in the area around the artifi cial Complex of Water Reservoirs Czorsztyn-Niedzica and Sromowce Wyżne in the southern Poland (Western Carpathians) in two periods: I (1992–1993), and II (1996–1997). The species composition, species richness, abundance, and species diversity indices varied signifi cantly between both periods. The serious changes were recorded for the studied fauna in a relatively short time. We assume that the general increase of the species richness and the fauna diversity profi le, as well as the popula- tion size of some stenotopic weevils may have been caused by temporary effect of the increased number of new biotopes under strong anthropogenic pressure and succession.

  • The Response of Weevil Communities (Coleoptera: Curculionoidea) to the Altitudinal Zones of Beech Stands
    JOURNAL OF FOREST SCIENCE, 54, 2008 (6): 262–272 The response of weevil communities (Coleoptera: Curculionoidea) to the altitudinal zones of beech stands J. Beránek Faculty of Forestry and Wood Technology, Mendel University of Agriculture and Forestry in Brno, Brno, Czech Republic ABSTRACT: Good knowledge of geobiocoenoses is one of the primary preconditions for biogeographical differentia- tion of the landscape, protected territory tending and preservation of forest ecosystems. For deepening the knowledge of the complex geobiocoenological relations the study of curculiocoenoses was conducted. It was conducted in eighteen permanent research plots based in beech stands of the 3rd, 4th and 5th altitudinal zone in the regions of South Moravia and East Bohemia. The relation of weevils to altitudinal zones was proved on the basis of some ecological index numbers and statistic methods DCA and CCA (P ≤ 0.001). It was found out that curculiocoenoses of the investigated altitudinal zones overlapped and some species decreased or increased their dominance and abundance with increasing altitude. Characteristics of the beech stand curculiocoenoses have been proposed for the 3rd, 4th and 5th altitudinal zone, which can be used as an ancillary component of the geobiocoenological or typological system. For a more complex conclu- sion similar research of weevils should be carried out in the beech stands of other altitudinal zones and also in other forest stands. Keywords: altitudinal zones; beech stand; geobiocoenology; weevils; Curculionoidea; zoocoenosis Study of biocoenoses has been a problematic proc- 2000). In recent years more and more authors ess for a long time; its origins can be found already at have been concerned with insects, in the animal the beginning of the AD era (Klika 1948).

  • Sacred-Lakes-1.Pdf
    Newsletter Archives www.dollsofindia.com Holy Lakes of India Narayan Sarovar | Nakki Lake Prashar Lake | Pushkar Lake | Suraj Tal Copyright © 2019, DollsofIndia India is a land that abounds with temples; religious pilgrimage sites; and holy springs and lakes. The most sacred spots are, in fact, so powerful that their spiritual intensity is actually palpable and visitors get to feel the heightened energy there. In this post, we bring you a feature on some of the holiest lakes of India. Many of these lakes are associated with temples and interesting legends as well. Here is Part I of our article. We will continue with the feature in our next post. Narayan Sarovar Narayan Sarovar or Narayansar is a sacred land for Hindus and is situated on the Kori Creek. This lake is located in the Lakhpat Taluka of Kutch District, Gujarat. The ancient temple of Koteshwar, which lies just 4 kilometers ahead, is associated with this site. Narayan Sarovar is one of the 5 holy lakes of Hinduism, collectively referred to as the Panch- Sarovar. The others are Mansarovar in Tibet, Pampa in Karnataka, Bhuvaneshwar in Orissa and Pushkar in Rajasthan. According to legend, a long time ago, the Saraswati River had an outlet into the sea, near present-day Narayan Sarovar. The waters of this lake were filled with the holy waters of River Saraswati. This lake is mentioned in the Puranas. At one time, a drought hit the area and so, it was dry and arid all around. The people, animals and birds living there suffered and many died due to extreme dehydration.

  • Natural Assets Strategy April 2000
    Natural Assets Strategy April 2000 NATURAL ASSETS STRATEGY FOREWORD A healthy natural environment should be of concern to everyone, as the quality of human life depends fundamentally on the quality of the environment. As a new unitary authority, Halton Borough Council is committed to responsible and sustainable custodianship of the land that it owns or influences. It is therefore appropriate to consider the different aspects of the natural environment and to relate its importance to the people of the Borough. This strategy will provide the framework from which to develop and apply understandable and workable policies for our trees and woodlands, our nature conservation resource and our wider landscape.

A total of 47 species Department of Environmental Sciences, Hemvati Nandan belonging to 43 genera of four families (Bacillariophyceae; Chlorophyceae; Cyanophyceae; Bahughuna Garhwal University, India Dinophyceae) of phytoplankton were encounted during the study. Bacillariophyceae was the dominant family representing 20 genera followed by Chlorophyceae (16 genera), Correspondence: Sushma Singh, Department of Cyanophyceae (4 genera) and Dinophyceae (3 genera). A highly significant (F=14.59; Environmental Sciences, Hemvati Nandan Bahughuna Garhwal p=1.43E-08) seasonal variation in the abundance of phytoplankton community of Dodi University, (A Central University) Srinagar, Garhwal, 246174, Tal was recorded. Maximum abundance of phytoplankton (1,270±315.00ind.l-1) was Uttarakhand, India, Email [email protected] found in autumn season and minimum (433.00±75.00ind.l-1) in monsoon season. Multiple regression analysis made between density of phytoplankton and environmental variables Received: July 31, 2018 | Published: November 05, 2018 revealed that the abundance of phytoplankton has a negative correlation with TDS, alkalinity, dissolved oxygen, pH and Chlorides. However, it has a positive correlation with water temperature phosphates and nitrates. Shannon Wiener diversity index was recorded maximum (4.09) in autumn season and minimum (3.59) in monsoon season. Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA) was also calculated between physico-chemical variables and phytoplankton diversity for assessing the effect of physico- chemical variables on various taxa of phytoplankton.

INTRODUCTION The only information available on the seasonally snow covered high altitude lakes above 4,000 m. is that of Thomson (1852), Hutchinson (1933, 1937), Lomer (1969), James and Hubbick (1969), Singh and Sharma (1985) and Kumar et al. (1989). High altitude lakes have simple trophic structure and harbour few species predominated by arthropods. The present paper on Suraj Tal Lake gives a preliminary account of limnological and biological features on the high altitude lake of the Great Himalayan Range of which nothing is known. ARBA INVESTIGATED Suraj Tal Lake is situated at an altitude of 4,800 m. AMSL (Lati : 32°45 'N ; Longi: 77°25 'E) on the Great Himalayan Range in the Lahaul-spiti valley of Himachal­ pradesh.
