Avian Diversity of Wetlands in and Around Jodhpur, Western Rajasthan

Untitled

“…Thus, a species may, however be having a poor population turnover, if displays poor periodicity, is obviously highly sensitive to the available environmental conditions during most part of the year. This is important to note that species in highly stressed condition such as desert (Dashaudha) develop locally adapted population as also observed by Singh and Saxena (2002) [24] and Singh et al (2006) [23] . The availability and distribution of chironomids on intra lake level have been attributed to be relative to many factors (Bowman, 1976) [3] .…”

A Comparative Study of the Floristic Diversity and Structure of Relictual Littoral and Swamp Forests in the Island of Tahiti (French Polynesia, South Pacific)

“…Because mangroves are known worldwide to provide regulating, provisioning and cultural ecosystem services (Singh and Odaki 2004, Webber et al 2016), people have a positive perception of mangroves, including in French Polynesia in the Society Islands where it was introduced (Meyer et al 2021). However, Rhizophora stylosa has colonized and replaced native submangroves, Paspalum vaginatum littoral grasslands, and the thickets formed by the large A. aureum ferns with negative ecological impacts (Papy 1951–1954, Iltis and Meyer 2010, Meyer et al 2021).…”

The first record of a Konservat‐Lagerstätten in which early post‐settlement stages of fossil archaeobalanids (Cirripedia: Balanomorpha) are preserved

“…Two fossil leaves from Dolnja Stara vas show similarities to extant leaves of the mangrove Xylocarpus granatum . These leaves alternate on 20 to 28 cm long, rachis, leaflets usually 2 to 4 and 7, 5 to 10 cm long, ovate with broad blunt apex (Singh & Odaki 2004). Xylocarpus granatum is generally found in the middle to landward shore of the mangal and is characterized by conspicuous buttresses and extensive pneumatophores as ribbon or flank‐like structures (Singh & Odaki 2004).…”

Xylocarpus granatum is generally found in the middle to landward shore of the mangal and is characterized by conspicuous buttresses and extensive pneumatophores as ribbon or flank‐like structures (Singh & Odaki 2004). These mangroves would have been largely submerged at high tide, as is the case with the extant mangrove Avicennia marina upon which barnacles settle at high tide.…”
