Niche breadth and overlap of spotted deer and domestic cattle with swamp deer in tropical region of Nepal

Abstract: Background Knowledge about the niche overlap among wild species and domestic cattle is helpful to conserve and manage wildlife. We assessed the habitat niche breadth and overlap of sympatrically living spotted deer (Axis axis) and domestic cattle with swamp deer (Cervus duvaucelii) in Shuklaphanta National Park, Nepal during the dry season to explore the possibility of interspecific competition by studying the habitat use by these species. The assumption was made that the presence of pellets is… Show more

“…Sal ( Shorea robusta ), Asna ( Terminalia tomentosa ), Botdhamero ( Lagestroemia parviflora ), and Sindure ( Mallatus Philippines ) are the dominant floral species [ 81 ]. Similarly, Swamp deer ( Cervus duvaucelii ), Black buck ( Antilope cervicapra ), hog deer ( Axis porcinus ), Python ( Python molurus ), Spotted deer ( Axis axis ), Sambar deer ( Rusa unicolor ), Gaur ( Bos gaurus ), Rhinoceros ( Rhinoceros unicornis ), Tiger ( Panthera tigris tigris ), Common leopard ( Panthera pardus ), Wild Asian elephant ( Elephas maximas ), and Giant hornbill ( Buceros bicornis ) are the major faunal species [ 28 , 36 , 48 ].

“…In Nepal, swamp deer research has so far focused on a variety of topics, including abundance and density [ [31] , [32] , [33] , [34] ], the impact of construction [ 35 ], activity pattern [ 17 ], habitat use [ 13 , 15 , 36 ], habitat suitability [ 24 ]. However, there is a dearth of insights regarding the present distribution status of swamp deer in Nepal.…”

“…Both metrics range from 0 to 1, where 0 indicates no overlap or complete niche divergence, and 1 indicates complete overlap or identical niches. To assess the niche breadth for each species, we calculated the Levins' inverse concentration metric 68,71 . Niche breadth quanti es the range of habitats occupied by a species.…”
