“…Although Deniel (2001) listed S. nukta as endemic species of Western Ghats, but he commented 'it is not strictly species of this geographical region'. This species is also reported from the lower tributaries of the Krishna at the Eastern Ghats and other rivers and some wetlands (Jayaram 1995, Manimekalan and Sing 1997, Laxmappa and Bakshi 2016, Reddy et al 2013. Goswami et al (2012) listed it amongst the fishes of Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and Tripura of North East India.…”

“…Literature review shows that the population of S. nukta has drastically declined in recent past years (Kharat et al 2012) and reported as locally extinct (Kharat et al 2012), rare (Barman 2009, Jadhav et al 2011, discontinuous within its range distribution (Ghate et al 2002), and Globally threatened (Kharat et al 2012). Sarwade and Khillare (2010) and Reddy et al (2013) marked this species as abundant in Ujini wetlands and Thummalapalle Uraniamminig area. However, recently S. nukta assessed as Endangered Category under the criteria A2acd+3cd in IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (Dahanukar 2013).…”

“…This report was made from different upland tributaries of Krishna River system at the Western Ghats of Maharashtra and Karnataka. However, a few researchers reported it from Godavari, Penna, Cauveri and lower tributaries of the river Krishna at Eastern Ghats and some wetlands of Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Telengana and Tamil Nadu (Jayaram 1995, Manimekalan and Sing 1997, Laxmappa and Bakshi 2016, Prasad et al 2009, Deniel 2001, Reddy et al 2013, Sarwade and Khillare 2010. In Indian waters the fish was mostly recorded from the upper parts of the rivers and their tributaries with gravels and stone bed.…”

The horned carp, Schismatorynchos nukta (Sykes, 1839) has been recorded for the first time from Bangladesh geographical area under the investigated genus of Schismatorynchos (Bleeker 1855). This fish was collected from seine net catch while exploring the hilly upstream of Sangu river at Tindu and Remakri (Thanchi, Bandarban, Bangadesh) during the winter in 2015. The species S. nukta is mostly distributed in the upland tributaries of Krishna river systems at northern Western Ghats, Maharashtra and Karnataka in India. It is reported as endemic species of Western Ghats biodiversity hotspot. Its distribution (IUCN status) and habitat conditions are dealt in the present paper. The findings add some information on its global distribution form and Indian endemic status.J. Biodivers. Conserv. Bioresour. Manag. 2017, 3(1): 85-92

The present work was carried out in Malgaon-Bagayat (16009’04.35”N & 73033’04.7”E) and Malvan Taluka (16005’00”N & 73030’00”E) of Sindhudurg District. The paper represents the first document on birds as there are no published records from Sindhudurg District. The study was conducted for a period of two years to explore the avifauna as no records have been published yet from this area. A total of 101 species of birds belonging to 17 orders and 45 families and were recorded in the study areas inhabiting different types of habitats. The Order Passeriformes contributed the maximum species (44.9%) followed by Pelecaniformes (9.2%), Charadriiformes (8.2%) and Accipitriformes (6.1%). The species such as the Asian Paradise Flycatcher, Common Hoopoe, and Pied Kingfisher were observed only once in the study area. The common occurrence of the Near Threatened Malabar Pied Hornbill in Bagayat signifies the ornithological importance of this site. Long-term studies on distribution and abundance are required to prepare a conservation plan for avifauna in Sindhudurg District. The data generated can be considered as baseline data for future conservation and management of existing species.

Herpetofauna are unique creature which comprise both amphibians and reptiles. The present study was carried out on herpetofaunal diversity in Rupandehi and Arghakhanchi districts. Each of six sampling stations was conducted in the study areas. Ten standardized 10 x 200 m strip transects and 20-25 standard Quadrat sizes of 20 m x 20 m were set in each station. Observed museum specimens and questionnaire survey were also conducted during data collection. A total of 45 spe cies of herpetofauna was recorded with 9 species of amphibians) and 36 species of reptiles. Six species were from the family Ranidae, two species from Bufonidae and one speciesfrom Rhacophoridae. Lizards were represented by 11 species belonging to four different families. Each of Gekkonidae, Agamidae and Scincidae family was represented by 3 species and the Varanidae by two species. The family Crocodylidae was represented by one species. The order Testudines (turtles) was represented by 2 species from family trionychidae and bataguridae. Twenty two species of snakes were recorded from 6 different families. The amphibian species, namely; Euphlyctis cyanophlyctis, Zakerana nepalensis, Bufo melanostictus and B. stomaticusand reptile species Calotes versicolor were relatively abundant. Seven species of amphibians and18 species of reptiles were common in both districts. The study areas were diverse microhabitats due to the elevation from 71 m to 2004 m with plain, Churia and mountain range.
