“…and some on the bark of species of Artocarpous, Mangifea, Michelia, Polyalthia, and Ricinus. Based on the literature (Awasthi 1961;Rout et al 2005Rout et al , 2010Rout et al , 2012Singh and Sinha 2010;Das et al 2012Das et al , 2013Gupta et al 2013;Daimari et al 2014;Dey et al 2015;Choudhury et al 2016;Gupta and Sinha 2018;Gogoi et al 2019;Joseph et al 2020;Behera et al 2021), our record of P. chlorospila represents a new addition to the lichen biota of India. With this addition, 12 species of Pyrenula have been recorded from Dhubri district (Table 1).…”

Climatic conditions and physical features of the Eastern Himalayan region encompasses a rich diversity of lichen biota. However, the region’s lichens are still far from extensively explored. Here, we study the genus Pyrenula Ach. from the Dhubri district of Assam in North-East India. Twelve species of Pyrenula have been recorded, of which one of the species, P. chlorospila (Nyl.) Arnold, is a newly reported from India. Morphotaxonomic comments on this species, emphasizing its distribution, are provided.

“…Behera et al (2021) reported 138 species from Goalpara, Kamrup, Nagaon, Karbi Anglong and Golaghat from Assam, of which 37 are new to the state. Some parts of the state such as Sonitpur, Nagaon, Baksa, Kamrup and Southern Assam are fairly well explored for lichens (Choudhury et al, 2016a;Choudhury et al, 2016b;Daimari et al, 2014Daimari et al, , 2017Das et al, 2012;Dey et al, 2015;Hazarika et al, 2011;Rout et al, 2005Rout et al, , 2010Rout et al, , 2012. However, it is clear from these studies that exploration of lichen in Assam is not complete and still good number of districts and ecologically interesting areas has not yet been explored.…”

The present study deals with 26 new records of lichens to Assam belonging to 14 genera, 9 families and one under Arthoniales from Ultapani Forest Range under Haltugaon Forest division of Kokrajhar district. The crustose lichen showed their dominance in the area with the percentage of 89% and foliose 11%. The members of Diploschistaceae family showed their dominance with three genera and 8 species followed by Graphidaceae with 6 species and Collemataceae, Pyrenulaceae and Thelotremataceae with two species each. The genera Hemithecium exhibited luxuriant growth with five species followed by Ocellularia with four species and Rhabdodiscus with three species. The present study reflects the richness of lichens in the study area. The dominance of Diploschistaceae and Graphidaceae member establishes the existence of semi-evergreen forest in the region and the presence of Ocellularia indicates healthy forest with ecological continuity.

Human-Wildlife Conflict In the Forest Villages of Barak Valley, Assam, India

et al. 2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Man and animals are frequently coming into conflicts over habitat and food requirements and this is mainly due to expanding human population and loss of natural habitats. The problem has been identified as major challenge to the governments of many countries and is significant to many human communities. Forest villages are the most potent sites for this problem as these are the places where human needs intersect with those of the wild animals. There are 104 forest villages in Barak Valley which is constituted by three districts; namely: Cachar, Hailakandi and Karimganj located in the Southern part of the Indian state of Assam. However, no proper study has yet been pursued with respect to man-wildlife conflict in these villages. Hence, present study was attempted to indentify the various wild animals which are involved in conflict in the forest villages of the region. The study revealed that there were four conflict animals; viz: jackal, civet, wild boar and monkey which were most commonly associated with the problem in these villages.
