Nesting habitat suitability and breeding of Asian woollyneck (Ciconia episcopus) in Nepal

Abstract: Asian woollyneck ( Ciconia episcopus ) is a large wading bird species whose conservation status has been recently down-listed, despite a lack of concrete information on its nesting ecology and breeding success. In this study, we report its breeding success and nest habitat suitability in Nepal from 39 nesting sites (2016–2020). Simal ( Bombax ceiba ) ( n = 21), followed by sal tree( Shorea robusta ) ( n … Show more

“…Moreover, the presence of larger trees in these landscapes, which are maintained by farmers, is essential for various waterbird species (Hilaluddin et al., 2003 ; Katuwal, Sundar, et al., 2022 ; Koju et al., 2019 ). Specifically, these large trees, characterized by their tall height, substantial diameter at breast height (DBH), and expansive canopy cover, facilitate the establishment of larger colony sizes (Clancy & Ford, 2011 ; Ghimire et al., 2022 ; Katuwal, Sundar, et al., 2022 ). This, in turn, significantly impacts the breeding performances of colonial waterbirds, including storks such as the Asian openbills ( Anastomus oscitans ; Mohapatra et al., 2019 ; Rajković, 2021 ).…”
