“…But, it is well known that there is no previous research work on wildlife in the baor of Bangladesh. Some research works in baor areas have been done in India focusing avifauna (Chatterjee et al 2023, Mandal et al 2021, Debnath et al 2018. Result from this study showed higher number of avian species in the study area compared to other oxbow lake except Purbasthali, West Bengal, India (Chowdhury 2023).…”

Marjat baor is an Ecologically Critical Area located at the lower Ganges floodplain of Bangladesh. A yearlong study wildlife status, community structure and seasonal effect was made following direct field observation in the Marjat baor. A total of 186 vertebrate wildlife species (14 amphibians, 21 reptiles, 131 birds and 19 mammals) were recorded with 9402 individuals. Wetland habitat specialist species were abundant in the community where, Dendrocygna javanica was at the top (5.85%). Herpetofauna showed more uneven distribution than the other animal groups. Due to the richness of migratory birds, seasonal variation showed the highest number of unique species in winter season. A significant difference observed between the community structure of human-dominant and non-dominant landscapes in the ANOSIM test (R = 0.146, p <0.021) and NMDs plot. Floating plant and homestead forest around the baor held the maximum wildlife species. Species richness (F=11.334, p=0.0009) and abundance (F=68, p= 0.0021) differed significantly among the five microhabitats of the study area. The presence of eight threatened wildlife species was noticed in the study area. Anthropogenic stressors causes existential crisis for wildlife. It is revealed that, the community-based conservation may be helpful for conserving the wildlife species in the study area. This study may play a significant role in taking future conservation initiatives. Biodivers. Conserv. Bioresour. Manag. 2023, 9(2): 83-98

“…The collected samples were sprayed with 70% alcohol and labeled, and the samples were sorted based on morphology and identification. The data were tabulated and analyzed using the Shannon-Wiener equation for the diversity index [36]- [38] and the distribution pattern with the Morisita index equation [39]- [41].…”

Flies cohabit with humans, particularly in areas with poor sanitation, producing health problems. Flies serve as vectors for spreading a variety of harmful bacteria, either directly or through food. This research aims to use an ex post facto approach to determine the amount of diversity and distribution patterns of flies in Gampong Jawa, Banda Aceh City, Indonesia. Furthermore, this study can be used as a reference for the sorts of diseases distributed in the community and a factor in fly population control models for the prevention of infectious diseases in the area. The parameters chosen were the diversity index and the fly distribution pattern. Based on the results obtained, the diversity index tended to be low. The moderate diversity index was reached only in clusters 2 (1.02) and 3 (1.08) in the first-day morning, cluster 2 (1.2) in the second-day morning, cluster 3 (1.18) in the morning, and cluster 4 (1.01) in the afternoon of the third-day observation. In terms of distribution pattern parameters, the results obtained for uniform and clumped distribution patterns are the same when seen from the four clusters observed. According to the findings of this study, the fly diversity index in Gampong Jawa is still low, and the distribution pattern is homogeneous and clumped. As a result, to avoid pathogen transmission, a fly control model must be developed.
