Avifauna of Saurashtra University Campus, Rajkot, Gujarat, India

“…Systematic updates, identification of birds were J TT followed by using references such as Ali & Ripley (1983), Sugathan & Varghese (1996), Ali (2012), Parasharya et al (2004), Sangha & Naoroji (2005, Grimmett et al (2013), Ansari & Nawab (2015), Ganpule (2016), Manohar et al (2017); common name and scientific name updated as Praveen et al (2018) and Satose et al (2020).…”

Avifaunal diversity in Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati Campus, Assam, India

“…This study is particularly important to highlight the richness of avian species on the campus besides quantitative comparison of diversity among the different campus habitats. In the literature, there are many documented campus-based avian studies, but only as species checklists (Gupta et al 2009;Surasinghe & Alwis 2010;Ali et al 2013;Kabir et al 2017;Manohar et al 2017;Sailo et al 2019), without thorough and quantitative habitat-wise diversity analysis. On the other hand, Chakdar et al (2016) & Trivedi & Vaghela (2020) conducted a diversity & abundance analysis based on the dataset of species-wise number of individual birds.…”
