Abstract: The coastal wetlands along the southern coast of Sri Lanka are home to a diverse array of shorebirds thriving in their natural habitats, classified under the order Charadriiformes. This study examines the impact of land cover changes within the Kalametiya Sanctuary, situated on the southern coast, on the diversity, distribution, and habitat utilization of migrant and breeding resident shorebirds. Three distinct habitat types were selected within the study area: grassland, lagoon, and mixed mangroves. Employing Geographic Information System (GIS) data the land cover changes of these habitats from 2002 to 2023 were analyzed using satellite imagery. Results indicated a substantial decrease in lagoon habitat area by 70% and grassland habitat by 30%, while mixed mangrove habitat saw an increase of >90%. These changes were attributed to anthropogenic interventions and natural events such as the 2004 Tsunami. To determine the shorebird assemblages within the study area thriving in these changing habitats, surveys were conducted from May 2022 to April 2023 at 30 fixed point-count stations along transects in the selected habitat types. A total of 25 shorebird species belonging to six families were recorded. Notable among these were the globally ‘Near Threatened’ species such as the Black-tailed Godwit Limosa limosa and the Great Thick-knee Esacus recurvirostris, alongside nationally threatened species including Kentish Plover Charadrius alexandrinus, Gull-billed Tern Gelochelidon nilotica, and Common Tern Sterna hirundo species. The mixed-mangrove habitat exhibited the highest shorebird abundance, with 19 species recorded, surpassing the 13 and 11 species recorded in the grassland and lagoon habitats, respectively. Additionally, both grassland and mixed-mangrove habitats demonstrated similar diversity indices and shared more species in common (Shannon’s diversity index [H] = 2.17; Jaccard Similarity Index = 0.45) compared to the lagoon habitat (H = 2.09). Despite the notable decline in lagoon habitat cover, during the present study, it was observed that the overall shorebird populations have been sustained within grassland and mixed-mangrove habitats utilized for their feeding and nesting. Additionally, over-summering migratory shorebirds were observed utilizing these habitats. Hence, the Kalametiya sanctuary serves as a unique setting to study the ecological resilience of migratory and breeding resident shorebirds amidst human interventions. This research provides valuable insights for biodiversity conservation and habitat management in the face of human-induced alterations within ecosystems located especially along migratory pathways of shorebird species. Both grassland and mixed-mangrove habitats exhibited similar diversity indices and shared more species (Shannon’s diversity index [H] = 2.17; Jaccard Similarity Index = 0.45) compared to the lagoon habitat (H = 2.09). Despite the significant decline in lagoon habitat cover, this study observed that overall shorebird populations have been sustained within the grassland and mixed-mangrove habitats, which they use for feeding and nesting. Additionally, over-summering migratory shorebirds were observed utilizing these habitats. Thus, the Kalametiya sanctuary serves as a unique setting for studying the ecological resilience of migratory and breeding resident shorebirds amidst human interventions. This research offers valuable insights for biodiversity conservation and habitat management, particularly in ecosystems along migratory pathways of shorebird species, in the face of human-induced alterations.

Abstract: This study aimed to examine the current conservation status of the ‘Critically Endangered’ bird species Houbaropsis bengalensis (Gmelin, 1789), commonly known as the Bengal Florican or Bustard, in Manas National Park in Assam. The grasslands of this park, once home to the largest population of Bengal Floricans in India, are undergoing natural and anthropogenic changes. Field surveys conducted from February to April 2021 to assess florican populations recorded 50 males and 17 females, while a 2009 survey estimated 24 males in Manas NP (Brahma et al. 2009), indicating long-term population increase. Land use and land cover change maps of florican habitats were created using supervised classification. Grassland habitats face several threats, including uncontrolled natural succession coupled with livestock grazing, growth of invasive alien plants and collection of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) by local people. These disturbances reflect the condition of grasslands that are home to a wide variety of wildlife, including grassland specialists like Pygmy Hog Porcula salvania, Hispid Hare Caprolagus hispidus, Hog Deer Axis porcinus, and mega herbivores like Indian Rhino Rhinoceros unicornis, wild Water Buffalo Bubalus arnee, Eastern Swamp Deer Rucervus duvaucelii ranjitsinhi, Gaur Bos gaurus, and Asian Elephant Elephas maximus. These findings indicate an urgent need to protect and restore grasslands for conservation of the Bengal Florican and other grassland-dependent species.

- Assemblages of frugivorous butterflies in two urban parks in Quezon City,
Philippines
Authors: Micael Gabriel A. Itliong, Nikki Heherson A. Dagamac, Jade Aster T. Badon
Pages: 25516 - 25527
Abstract: Urban parks play a crucial role in supporting biodiversity, yet limited research on urban insect diversity poses challenges for conservation. Comprehensive biodiversity records are essential for monitoring insect population trends. Despite their significance as bioindicators, many urban parks lack baseline data on butterfly populations. This study utilized bait traps to assess butterfly diversity in two Quezon City parks: La Mesa Ecopark (LME) and Ninoy Aquino Parks and Wildlife Center (NAPWC). Bait trapping facilitates species identification and population trend monitoring without harming local butterfly populations. From April to August 2023, two bait traps equipped with fermented bananas and rum as lures were deployed in each park. A total of 145 individuals representing nine morphospecies of the Nymphalidae family were recorded. Differences in butterfly diversity were noted between LME and NAPWC, with LME showing greater diversity. However, sampling efforts at NAPWC may need expansion to ensure exhaustiveness, potentially affecting comparison accuracy. Notably, four species observed in both parks are endemic to the Philippines, while data on the IUCN Red lIst status of the remaining species are unavailable.

- Assessment of the status of Spodoptera species (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae:
Armyworm) in India through DNA barcoding technique
Authors: Dinesh Nalage, P.S. Kudnar, Tejswini Sontakke, Ishwar Chittapure, Yashdeep Gowda, Shantanu Kharbal, Yashashri Alamwar
Pages: 25528 - 25535
Abstract: Insects constitute the majority of animal fauna worldwide, but quantifying their species diversity is still incomplete. A few recent studies indicate a marked decrease in the population of insects which calls for urgent efforts to document and understand insect diversity to get a complete picture of Earth’s ecosystems. Modern technology can accelerate species identification beyond traditional methods’ limitations. Hence, a focused and expedited approach through DNA barcoding coupled with morphological identification is necessary. This present research highlights the gaps that exist and it examines the current status of Spodoptera species barcode in India. Six Spodoptera species were studied confirming their presence in India including two invasive species. That means less than 50% of taxa or described Spodoptera species are covered by genetic data from barcoded specimens after analysis. Therefore, comprehensive DNA barcoding should be achieved from all insect species occurring on the Indian subcontinent to speed up the discovery and documentation of new species by involving both traditional taxonomists and molecular biologists working towards a common goal.

- Taxonomy and distribution of some orthopteran species (Orthoptera:
Gryllidae, Trigonidiidae, Acrididae) from northwestern Morocco
Authors: Hanae El Harche, Samiha Kaioua, Dalale Mansouri
Pages: 25536 - 25544
Abstract: Orthopterans have emerged as a crucial group of invertebrates for environmental monitoring and assessment. According to available literature the study of Moroccan orthopteran species remains limited in comparison to other countries. In recent years, the field of orthopteran classification has witnessed significant progress thanks to groundbreaking research in taxonomy and phylogeny that have shed new light on relationships and evolutionary history. In Morocco, there are many types of Orthoptera, including grasshoppers, crickets, and locusts, and different regions of the country have not been equally well sampled and studied. Notably the northwestern, particularly the Sidi Kacem region, are little studied. Here we present a taxonomic update of the most abundant orthopterans in Morocco based on field visits between spring and summer 2019. Five species were identified: Dociostaurus maroccanus, Aiolopus strepens, Gryllus bimaculatus, Gryllus campestris, and Nemobius sylvestris. We aim to use this publication as a baseline for future work on Orthopterans from northwestern Morocco.

- Impact of root harvest on Decalepis hamiltonii Wight & Arn. population
across habitats in Savandurga Reserve Forest, Karnataka, India
Authors: M. Sathya Sangeetha, Kaliamoorthy Ravikumar , H.C. Chetan
Pages: 25545 - 25570
Abstract: Decalepis hamiltonii Wight & Arn., is a woody climber, endangered due to the destructive harvest of fragrant roots and substituted for Hemidesmus indicus (L.) R.Br. (Nannari). We assessed the density, size class, distribution across habitat types, disturbance types, and environmental variables that influence the D. hamiltonii population in the Savandurga Reserve Forest (SRF). Method: The entire forest was divided into 1 km² grids, with 10 plots of 5 x 5 m established in each of the 24 grids, totaling 240 plots. Disturbances were categorized as low, medium, and high, while plots were classified into dense, mixed, and rocky outcrop habitats. Results: D. hamiltonii density ranged from 0.1 ± 0.32 to 5.2 ± 2.66 per 25 m² across the grids with an overall mean density of 675 ± 455 stems per ha. The size class distribution showed a typical inverted “J” curve, with fewer saplings (3.01–6.0 cm class), indicating potential future population instability. Stem density was lower in dense vegetation and higher in mixed vegetation and rocky outcrops, with greater densities in areas of higher disturbance. Adult density was mainly influenced by harvesting (78% variation), saplings by NDVI (2.09%) & altitude (18.72%), and seedlings by aspect (4.44%), increasing from the south to the north. Conclusion: Strict monitoring and periodic assessment of the population are essential to protect the seedlings to the sapling stage, regulation of selective harvesting of the adults, and control of the herders feeding the leaves. Encouragement of local and large-scale cultivation to reduce pressure on the wild source and to improve livelihood. Capacity and confidence building of the community with citizen science reporting of destructive harvesting will help the forest department to save the declining population.

- Rare encounters: Jungle Cat Felis chaus Schreber, 1777 (Mammalia:
Carnivora: Felidae) in the lower reaches of the Jordan River, Jordan
Authors: Ehab Eid, Mohammad Farid Alayyan
Pages: 25571 - 25576
Abstract: The Jungle Cat Felis chaus is classified as critically endangered in Jordan due to its limited distribution and presumed population decline. We present new evidence for its presence in the lower Jordan River region, where it was recorded opportunistically during a monitoring program focused on the Golden Jackal Canis aureus. Five photographs of the Jungle Cat were obtained between June 2020 and February 2022, primarily during night-time and early morning hours. In view of these findings, we recommend urgent implementation of conservation measures, including other effective area-based conservation measures, particularly in military-controlled zones with limited accessibility where confirmed sightings occurred.

- Diversity of bird species in Ebpanan Marsh, Maguindanao del Norte,
Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), Philippines
Authors: Gindol Rey Limbaro, Benito Anthony A. Pingoy, Peter Jan D. de Vera
Pages: 25577 - 25583
Abstract: Wetland areas such as the marsh provide vital habitats for birds. However, marshes in the Philippines have been threatened by anthropogenic disturbances and may be further degraded. This study conducted a rapid bird assessment in Ebpanan Marsh located in Maguidanao del Norte within the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) on 06–12 March 2022. A total of 36 bird species belonging to 24 families were recorded during the rapid assessment. Among the bird species recorded, two species— Anas luzonica and Streptopelia dusumieri are considered as Vulnerable, while Padda oryzivora is considered ‘Endangered’ in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Eight of the bird species recorded are endemic and are observed in the remaining freshwater swamp forest of the Ebpanan Marsh. Despite habitat degradation and anthropogenic disturbance, the Ebpanan Marsh can still accommodate threatened and endemic bird species. Increasing the number of observation sites and extending the sampling duration of bird assessment will be required in order to complete the list of birds on the Marsh and understand the spatial and temporal variation in bird populations in the area.

Abstract: Present study was conducted to record the seasonal incidence and worm burden (eggs per gram of faeces) of helminthic infections and to evaluate the efficacy of deworming protocols followed for control of parasitic infections in captive animals (including birds) at the zoo. Freshly voided faecal samples were collected during winter, monsoon and summer from 150 captive animals including wild mammals (n = 95) and birds (n = 55) between 1–15 years of age kept at Rajiv Gandhi Zoo and Wildlife Research Centre Karaj, Pune (Zoo-I) and Nisargakavi Bahinabai Chaudhary Zoo, Pimpri Chinwad (Zoo-II) in Maharashtra, India. Samples were processed and examined by standard sedimentation and floatation methods to assess the prevalence of helminth infections. Faecal samples of positive animals were collected pre and post-treatment, and the efficacy of the drugs used was evaluated based on faecal egg count reduction test (FECRT). The overall seasonal prevalence of gastro-intestinal parasitic infection in mammals varied among seasons with the highest prevalence (29.50 %) in monsoon followed by winter (26.30 %) and lowest in summer (8.40 %), while the same was found non-significant in birds. Of 19 bird species screened, 25 % of peafowl were positive for Ascardia spp., 25 % of crested eagles for Capillaria spp., and 50% of brown fish owls for Strongyloides spp. Among mammals, 75 % of Black Buck, 50 % of Leopards and 25 % of Giant Malabar Squirrels were positive for Strongyloides spp., while all four Bonnet Macaques were positive for Balantidium coli. The range of eggs per gram (EPG) of faeces recorded was 50–300 in mammals and 100–350 in birds. At Zoo I (Rajiv Gandhi Zoo and Wildlife Research Centre Karaj, Pune), there was 85.89 and 77.36 per cent reduction in egg counts after treatment with fenbendazole @5 mg/kg in herbivores and birds, respectively. While in carnivoresthe reduction was 69.93 % after treatment with a drug combination@10 mg/kg (Praziquantel 50 mg + Pyrantelembonate 144 mg + fenbantel 150 mg). In Zoo II (Nisargakavi Bahinabai Chaudhary Zoo, Pimpri Chinwad) the reduction in EPG was 72.35 % in carnivores with drug combination @10 mg/kg (Praziquantel 50mg + pyrantelembonate 144 mg + fenbantel 150 mg) and 68.98% in birds with albendazole @10 mg/kg.

habitat in Karnataka, India
Authors: Shirish Manchi, Goldin Quadros, Dipika Bajpai , Shomita Mukherjee, Suma Haleholi , Mahesh Marennavar , Sangmesh Neeralagi, Prakash Ganiger, Suresh Lamani, Nikhil Kulkarni
Pages: 25623 - 25626
Abstract: The Rusty-spotted Cat Prionailurus rubiginosus is distributed across India, Sri Lanka, and Nepal, with India harbouring the larger part of its global population. During a rapid survey of three abandoned gold mines in Kappatagudda Wildlife Sanctuary in Gadag, Karnataka, India, we found a dead Rusty-spotted Cat in one of them. The identified individual was taken to Gadag Zoo to determine the cause of death. The gut contained a whole partly digested bat (Microchiroptera) of unidentified species. Our observations suggest that the elusive and little-known Rusty-spotted Cat contributes to this human-made subterranean habitat in various ways. The presence of the Rusty-spotted Cat, a ‘Near Threatened’ and Schedule-I species, in a human-made subterranean habitat demonstrates possible high conservation value of such abandoned subterranean systems and calls for additional research to explore underground ecosystems across the cat’s distribution range.
